The specific heat capacity of this chunk of metal is equal to 0.32 J/g°C.
<u>Given the following data:</u>
- Quantity of energy = 400 Joules
- Initial temperature = 20°C
To determine the specific heat capacity of this chunk of metal:
<h3>
The formula for quantity of heat.</h3>
Mathematically, quantity of heat is given by the formula;
<u>Where:</u>
- Q represents the quantity of heat.
- m represents the mass of an object.
- c represents the specific heat capacity.
- ∅ represents the change in temperature.
Making c the subject of formula, we have:
Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;
Specific heat, c = 0.32 J/g°C.

You can tell that the atom is in the excited state because:
- Electron configuration should follow the 2-8-8-2 rule, meaning that the inner shell should be filled before the next shell can start holding electrons.
- Instead of the atom's electron configuration being in the ground state at 2-8-8-1, electrons from the second shell have jumped to the third.
Answer:
The mass number is defined as the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. The number of neutrons = mass number − atomic number.
When you heated the can with the bit of water inside and you boiled it over a flame, the water turned to vapor (gas) and the pressure in the inside of the can is different from the pressure on the outside of the can. When you placed the can into a ice water beaker or a container, the can shrunk it's size, decreasing it's mass and density. The can shrunk as a result of the inside pressure being equalized with the outside pressure.
The part where you placed it in the ice bath or container was when the water vapor was forced out of the can.
