Practice Test 10

A 40.0 g sample of copper is heated from $25.0^{\circ}\text{C}$ to $75.0^{\circ}\text{C}$. The specific heat capacity of copper is $0.385\ \text{J},\text{g}^{-1},^{\circ}\text{C}^{-1}$. What is the heat absorbed by the copper, $q$, in joules?

A $10.0,\text{g}$ sample of a solid absorbs $150,\text{J}$ of heat and its temperature increases by $30.0^\circ\text{C}$. What is the specific heat capacity of the solid?
