Copper has a specific heat of 0.386 J/g°C. How much heat is required to increase 5.00 g of copper from 0.0°C to 10.0°C?

Use the heat equation q = mcΔT, where m = 5.00 g, c = 0.386 J/g°C, and ΔT = 10.0°C − 0.0°C = 10.0°C. Thus, q = (5.00)(0.386)(10.0) = 19.3 J. The required heat is 19.3 J, choice D.
