The ratio of the mass of copper to water will be 10.8
The quantity of heat energy needed to raise a body's temperature per unit of mass is known as specific heat. Other names for specific heat include mass specific heat and specific heat capacity.
The quantity of heat in joules needed to elevate one gram of a material by one Kelvin is known as specific heat in SI units (symbol: c). The standard way to report specific heat is in joules (J).
We know that
The product of mass of copper and mass of water is equal to the product of the specific heat of copper and Water
Therefore ,
[tex]m_wc_w = m_cc_c[/tex]
We know that
Specific heat of water is 4.18 J
Specific heat of copper is 0.39 J
Therefore,
[tex]m_c*(0.39)=m_w*(4.18)\\\frac{m_c}{m_w} = \frac{4.18}{0.39}\\ = 10.8[/tex]
Hence The ratio of the mass of copper to water will be 10.8
