Water has a temp of 4.184 and copper has a temp of 0.387. Does it takes more heat to raise the temp of the copper molecule?

These are not temperature numbers but specific heat numbers. They mean that it takes 4.184 Joules and 0.387 Joules respectively to raise water and copper of one gram by one degree celsius.
So, as you can see, it takes a lot more heat to raise the temperature of water than it does of copper. Water has a very high specific heat.

When heating a sample of pure water to the boiling point why doesn't all of the water instantly vaporize when you reach the boiling point?
as each molecule of water evaporates it takes heat with it, lowering the temperature of the surrounding water, so it takes time before every molecule evaporates.
What effect can the ocean have on climate?
Oceans are large areas of water and water does not heat up or cool down as quickly as land does. The reason for this is that water has a higher specific heat than land; it takes more energy to raise the temperature of water than it does to raise the temperature of land. So areas along the coast tend to have weather that does not vary much.
How do water molecules dissolve in water?
Well, if you add water to water, the first water dissolves into the second water. But when that happens, it just makes more water. That shows that water does not dissolve water. So you can't dissolve water in water. Hope the answer was useful!

What are calorie measurdin?
A calorie is a unit of measure for the potenetial energy stored inside of a molecule, or a measure of the amount of energy it takes to raise one gram of water 1 degree celsius.
Why does it take longer for a kilogram of water than a kilogram of copper to reach the same temperature?
The reason it takes longer for a kilogram of water than a kilogram of copper to reach the same temperature is because of the specific heat capacity of each. This is the amount of energy (heat) it takes to raise the temperature of one kilogram of material by 1 degree Kelvin or Celsius.
Is it harder to raise the temperature of a rock than it is to raise the temperature of water?
It is harder to raise the temperature of water than it is to raise the temperature of a rock. It takes 1 calorie of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree C, whereas it only takes 0.02 calorie to heat a gram of rock to that temperature.

How many btu per gallon of water?
It takes 8.33 BTU to raise the temperature of water 1 degree F.
How much BTU's are in a 12ounce water?
It takes 1 BTU to raise 1 lb of water per degree Fahrenheit.
How much energy does it take to raise a volume of water by one celsius?
Well it depends on the volume of water. It takes one calorie per gram of water. Calorie is a unit of energy. It takes 4.18 Joule to raise one gram of water one degree. Joules are the scientific unit of energy. One gram of water has a volume of 1 cm3.
What is the reaction between copper and water?
Copper is multivalent but its most common valence is 2- so the equation should look like this: Cu (s) + H2O (l) ---> Cu(OH)2 (s) + H2 (g) Copper metal reacts with liquid water to form Copper Hydroxide and Hydrogen gas
Why does water at depth in lakes stay cold even on hot summer days?
It takes more heat to raise the temperature of a given volume of water a certain number of degrees than it does to raise the same volume of any other liquid the same number of degrees.
