Answer: The specific heat of the unknown metal is 0.897J/g^0C

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T

Q = Heat absorbed=5040 Joules

m= mass of substance = 86.8 g

c = specific heat capacity = ?

Initial temperature of the water = T_i

Final temperature of the water = T_f

Change in temperature ,\Delta T=T_f-T_i=(64.7)^0C

Putting in the values, we get:

5040=86.8\times c\times 64.7^0C

c=0.897J/g^0C

The specific heat of the unknown metal is 0.897J/g^0C

Fireworks exploding in the sky and giving off light are an example of a(n) _____.
Serggg [28]
Exothermic change. Because the firework when it exploded, released energy in the form of light. In exothermic changes energy is released, and in endothermic changes energy is absorbed.

- This wouldn't be a physical change, but instead a chemical change. A clue that it is a chemical change is that energy was given off.
