The amount of heat lost by the copper is 2402.4 J.

To Calculate the amount of heat lost, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • Q = cm(t₂-t₁)................. Equation 1

Where:

  • Q = Amount of heat lost
  • c = specific heat capacity of copper
  • m = mass of copper
  • t₂ = Final temperature
  • t₁ = Initial temperature

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 78 g
  • c = 0.385 J/g°C
  • t₂ = 120°C
  • t₁ = 40°C

Substitute these values into equation 1.

  • Q = 78(0.385)(120-40)
  • Q = 2402.4 J

Hence, The heat lost by the copper is 2402.4 J
