what is the specific heat for copper
0.072 J/g0C
The specific heat of copper is 0.093 cal/g(C°) or 390 J/kg(C°).
This means that copper will not absorb the heat from the water as much as the aluminum. Aluminum will "steal" more heat from the water- which you do not want. You need the heat to stay with the water until it serves its purpose.

The specific heat of water is 4184 J kg-1 K-1 The specific heat of copper 385 J kg-1 K-1. So the answer is no.
0.0923Btu Specific heat of copper is 0.0923 Btu/lb F
How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.358 of copper from 23.0 to 60.0 ? The specific heat of copper is 0.0920
Water has.

3.3 Joule (it follows the equation: Heat loss=mass*specific heat*temp. difference)

You look up the specific heat of copper (per mass unit). Then you multiply specific heat x mass x temperature difference.
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.

Copper's is lower because metals in general are more energy conductive than organic solvents.
The specific heat of water is 4184 J kg-1 K-1 The specific heat of copper 385 J kg-1 K-1. So the answer is no.
