Specific Heat and Thermal Energy

What is the formula to calculate heat energy required to raise the temperature of any substance?

• Q = m C ∆T

• Q = m Cp

• Q = ½ m v

• m = Q Cp

There are four cups of hot cocoa. The cup sizes are shown. The temperature of the cocoa in each cup is 25 degrees celsius. Which cup has the MOST thermal energy?

• Large cup

• Small cup

• Medium Cup

• All three are the same temperature so they have same thermal energy

Using the heat equation, what would the formula look like if we were solving for change in temperature?

• (Q)(m) = (∆T)(C)

• ∆T = Q / (m)(C)

• ∆T = (Q)(m) / C

• ∆T = (m)(c)(Q)

The specific heat(c) of copper is 0.39 J/g °C. What is the temperature change(∆t) when 100 Joules of heat(Q) is added to 20 grams?

• 12.82 °C
• 24.12°C
• 351 °C
