When it is acted upon by an outside force
The specific heat capacity of the metal given the data from the question is 0.66 J/gºC
<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
- Mass of metal (M) = 76 g
- Temperature of metal (T) = 96 °C
- Mass of water (Mᵥᵥ) = 120 g
- Temperature of water (Tᵥᵥ) = 24.5 °C
- Equilibrium temperature (Tₑ) = 31 °C
- Specific heat capacity of the water (Cᵥᵥ) = 4.184 J/gºC
- Specific heat capacity of metal (C) =?
<h3>How to determine the specific heat capacity of the metal</h3>
The specific heat capacity of the sample of the metal can be obtained as follow:
Heat loss = Heat gain
MC(M –Tₑ) = MᵥᵥCᵥᵥ(Tₑ – Tᵥᵥ)
76 × C × (96 – 31) = 120 × 4.184 × (31 – 24.5)
C × 4940 = 3263.52
Divide both side by 4940
C = 3263.52 / 4940
C = 0.66 J/gºC

Answer:
The following relationship makes this possible: 1 mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure (273 K and 1 atm) occupies a volume of 22.4 L.
Explanation:
In an atom, the number of neutrons determines most specifically the isotopes of an element.
<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>An atom </h3>
- An atom is defined as the smallest particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
- Atoms are made of energy shells and the inner nucleus.
- It is also made up of subatomic particles, protons and neutrons.
<h3>Neutrons </h3>
- They are sub-atomic particles in an atom that are found in the nucleus of an atom. They have a zero charge or no charge.
- Neutrons are slightly heavier than protons.
- The number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus of an atom results to the atomic mass number of an atom. Like protons they only take part in nuclear reactions.
<h3>Protons</h3>
- Protons are subatomic particles that are found in the nucleus of an atom. They are positively charged. with a charge of +1.
- The number of protons differ from one element to another and thus used as the atomic number of an individual element.
- The nucleus of an atom is positively charged due to the positive charge of the protons.
- Additionally, protons do not take part in chemical reactions but in nuclear reactions.
<h3>Electrons </h3>
- They are found orbiting the nucleus on energy shells based on Clouds’ theory. Electrons are negatively charged each with a charge of -1.
- The number of electrons and protons in a neutral atom are equal. Additionally they have the least mass of the three sub-atomic particles.
- Electrons are the only sub-atomic particles that take part in chemical reactions.
<h3>Isotopes </h3>
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have the same mass number but different atomic number.
<h3>Mass number;</h3>
- Mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom of an element.
