Some homes that use baseboard heating use Hot water runs through and heat the copper tubing, which in turn heats aluminum finsIt is actually the aluminum fins that heat the air rising through the finsHow much energy would it take to heat a section of the copper tubing that weighs about 550.0 g, from 14.11 Celsius to 22.77 Celsius? Copper has a specific heat of 0.3850 J/(g x Celsius) Express your answer in four significant figures.If you could break down the equation so I have an understanding of it, I would appreciate itI am going to use it for my notesThank you!
Towels, shower curtain and toiletries, sheets, pillow cases, can opener, small coffee maker, paper towels, cans of food, tea, coffee, sugar, cleaning products, a bucket and mopA microwave would be great.
Supposing we're calculating the heat to warm the copper - ignoring the aluminum and the air: (0.3850 J/(g·°C)) x (550.0 g) x (22.77 - 14.11)°C 1834 J If you pay attention to the units, the problem works itself.
