I thought I answered this. As I said before, I am too lazy to look up the specific heat of copper (Google it ) and I assume the temperature initial is the standard 25 Celsius. Here is the set-up.

q(amount of energy in Joules ) = ( 50g Copper)(specific heat of copper in J/gC )(55C-25C)

To find the energy needed to raise the temperature of a substance, we can use the equation Q = mcΔT, where Q is the energy, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the change in temperature. For copper, the specific heat capacity is approximately 0.386 J/g°C.

Converting the mass from grams to kilograms (50 g = 0.05 kg), we can plug in the values to calculate the energy: Q = (0.05 kg) * (0.386 J/g°C) * (30°C) = 0.579 J

Therefore, you would need approximately 0.579 joules of energy to raise the temperature of 50 grams of copper by 30 degrees Celsius.

Why does water boil at a specific boiling temperature?

It is the temperature at which enough heat energy has been put into the molecules, overpowering the hydrogen bonding between molecules. Water at the atmospheric pressure of sea level boils at 100 degrees Celsius (or 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 373.15 degrees Kelvin).

How much energy is needed to reduce water temperature from 15 degrees to 14 degrees?

1 calorie increases 1 gram of water by 1 degree celsius. 4.18 Joules are needed to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree celsius. To reduce the 1 gram of water 1 degree celsius it would have to give off 1 calorie of energy. To calculate the energy multiply the mass in grams of water by 4.18 and by the change in temperature. The energy = 4.18 x m x change in T. The answer is in Joules. If you are using calorie as the unit of energy, replace 4.18 J by 1 C. Note that food is measured in kilocalories (Calories) not metric calories.

What does doubling the energy content do to temperature?

This will depend on what kind of temperature scale you intend to use.Degrees Celsius, Degrees Fahrenheit or Kelvin.Celsius:If we have a positive number, say 10 degrees Celsius, then we would get 20 degrees Celsius.If we have a negative number, say -10 degrees Celsius, then we get -20 degrees Celsius. It will simply be twice as cold.Fahrenheit:Exactly the same rules apply as for Celsius in the examples of Celsius.Kelvin:Kelvin is an absolute that is "only" dealing with positive numbers.double of 10 Kelvin is 20 Kelvin. Double again and we get 40 Kelvin. Easy as pie.Temperature indicate how much energy there is in an object or a mix of objects.When doubling the temperature in Celsius, we add to this energy.When doubling the temperature in Fahrenheit, we add to this energy, but not as much as we would in Celsius.When doubling the temperature in Kelvin, then we actually double the energy-content. Much more than when using either Celsius or Fahrenheit.Increased temperature mean increased speed of reactions.
