Answer:

The metal has a heat capacity of 0.385 J/g°C

This metal is copper.

Explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>: Data given

Mass of the metal = 21 grams

Volume of water = 100 mL

 ⇒ mass of water = density * volume = 1g/mL * 100 mL = 100 grams

Initial temperature of metal = 122.5 °C

Initial temperature of water = 17°C

Final temperature of water and the metal = 19 °C

Heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g°C

<u />

<u>Step 2: </u>Calculate the specific heat capacity

Heat lost by the metal = heat won by water

Qmetal = -Qwater

Q = m*c*ΔT

m(metal) * c(metal) * ΔT(metal) = - m(water) * c(water) * ΔT(water)

21 grams * c(metal) *(19-122.5) = -100 * 4.184 * (19-17)

-2173.5 *c(metal) = -836.8

c(metal) = 0.385 J/g°C

The metal has a heat capacity of 0.385 J/g°C

This metal is copper.

How are photons emitted by atoms?
Paul [167]

Explanation:

<em>When the electron changes levels, it decreases energy and the atom emits photons. The photon is emitted with the electron moving from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. The energy of the photon is the exact energy that is lost by the electron moving to its lower energy level.</em>

Making a pancake from batter is an example of blank change
lesantik [10]

Answer is: chemical.

Making a pancake from batter is chemical change (chemical reaction), because new substances are formed, the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change.

Batter is thin dough that is poured into a pan to make pancakes.

In physical change, the same substance is present before and after the psysical change, just with different form or state of matter.
