1. Understand the Concepts

* Specific Heat Capacity: This is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 Kelvin (or 1 degree Celsius). The specific heat capacity of copper is 0.385 J/g·K.

* Heat Transfer Equation: The amount of heat (Q) absorbed or released is calculated using the following formula:

Q = m × c × ΔT

where:

* Q = heat energy (in Joules)

* m = mass of the substance (in grams)

* c = specific heat capacity (in J/g·K)

* ΔT = change in temperature (in Kelvin)

2. Calculate the Change in Temperature

* ΔT = Final Temperature - Initial Temperature

* ΔT = 353 K - 293 K

* ΔT = 60 K

3. Apply the Heat Transfer Equation

* Q = 60.0 g × 0.385 J/g·K × 60 K

* Q = 1386 J

Therefore, 60.0 grams of copper will absorb 1386 Joules of heat when heated from 293 Kelvin to 353 Kelvin.
