<span>When a
substance is heated, its atoms gain
energy and begin to vibrate rapidly within the lattice
of the substance (the substance expands). As more heating continues, the atoms
gain even more energy and move more rapidly until they are able to overcome the
force of the bonds, that hold the atoms together
in the lattice, until the structure is disrupted. </span>
when the thermal energy is the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature.
and when the thermal energy is can be determined by this formula:
q = M * C *ΔT
when q is the thermal energy
and M is the mass of water = 100 g
and C is the specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 joules/gram.°C
and T is the difference in Temperature = 50 °C
So by substitution:
∴ q = 100 g * 4.18 J/g.°C * 50
= 20900 J = 20.9 KJ
Answer: The density of the material is 2.66 g/mL and it is likely this is made of Aluminum
Explanation:
The first step to know the material of the chunk of metal is to calculate its density. The general formula for density is P (density) = 
. Moreover, in this case, it is known the mass is 37.28 g, but the volume is not directly provided. However, we know the water in the graduated cylinder had a volume of 20.0 mL and this increased to 34.0 mL when the chunk of metal is added, this means the volume of the metal is 14 mL (34.0 mL - 20.0 mL = 14 mL). Now let's calculate the density:
This means the density of this metal is 2.66 g/mL, which can be rounded as 2. 7 g/mL, and according to the chart, this is the density of aluminum. Therefore, this material of this chunk is aluminum.
