Answer:
0.0428 kg or 42.8 g
Explanation:
Applying,
Q = cmΔt.............. Equation 1
Where Q = heat lost of heat gained, c = specific heat capacity of copper, m = mass of copper, Δt = temperature change.
make m the subject of the equation above
m = Q/cΔt.................. Equation 2
From the question,
Given: Q = 428 J, Δt = 25 °C
Constant: c = 400 J/kg.°C
Substitute these values into equation 2
m = 428/(25×400)
m = 0.0428 kg
m = 42.8 g
