Answer: The "Forchhammer" principle
I hope that this helps you !
You can put a known amount sodium into some sort of time release mechanism such as a pill made from soluble material. Then you can place the sodium into a calorimeter with a known mass of water and record the temperature change the water undergoes during the reaction. Then you can use the equation q(water)=m(water)c(water)ΔT to find the amount of heat absorbed by the water. since the amount of heat absorbed by the water is the amount of heat released from the sodium, q(sodium)=-q(water). Than you can use the equation q(sodium)=m(sodium)c(sodium)ΔT and solve for c(sodium)

Answer:
Adding heat energy to the substance.
Explanation:
Thermal energy is associated with the kinetic energy of the particles that make up a body. By adding enough thermal energy to the molecules in a liquid, they overcome the molecular forces and separate, so that the substance becomes a gas; this is a phase change process.
The higher the temperature, the higher the energy of the particles and the higher the speed of the particles.
