To calculate the heat required to raise the temperature of a 1.25 g block of copper from 37.6°C to 96.2°C, the specific heat formula Q = mcΔT is used, where Q is the heat energy, m is the mass, c is the specific heat, and ΔT is the change in temperature. Given the specific heat of copper as 0.385 J/g·°C, the temperature change (ΔT) is 58.6°C. The calculation involves multiplying the mass (1.25 g) by the specific heat (0.385 J/g·°C) and the temperature change (58.6°C), resulting in the total heat required. The discussion also highlights the importance of reviewing relevant equations and concepts from notes or textbooks for accurate calculations. Understanding these principles is crucial for solving heat transfer problems in chemistry.
