the copper must have combined with another substance.
The mass of the anhydrous magnesium sulfate is 2,112 g.
Any object will increase in mass, if you increase its energy (E = mc2). The effect is insignificant under normal circumstances.Apart from that, the mass of copper will not inrease. It will burn at some point and the reslulting compounds will weigh more.
The copper wire glows red. Once it cools...the copper reacts with the air to produce copper(II) oxide. This is shown by the black tarnish on the copper wire.
Atomic mass of copper is 63. 546amu where amu is Atomic mass unit

Solid copper appears to gain mass when heated in air, because the copper reacts with oxygen in the air to form copper oxide. However, the actual mass of the copper does not increase; the mass of the solid increases by a value equal to the mass of oxygen removed from the air.
When copper is heated it oxidizes. The additional oxygen molecules it takes on when oxidizes leads it to have a higher mass.
Only an insignificant amount, due to mass-energy equivalence - the added energy implies some added mass.
it went up because the mass increases

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

63.546 is the gram atomic mass of copper.
The atomic mass of copper is 63.55.
