Question:

What is the specific heat capacity (Cp) expressed in kJ/C of a 4.00 Kg copper bar, given that the specific

heat of copper is 0.387 J/g‘C?I know the answer is 4 x 0.387 kJ/‘C but how do you get that answer? can you please show the work?

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of copper is 0.387 kJ/kg/K To convert it to energy per temperature rise multiply it by the mass, so 4*0.387 1.548 kJ/K. This is the heat capacity
