Answer: 
Explanation:
To calculate the initial temperature of the water:

where,
q = heat absorbed = 
= specific heat of water = 
m = mass of water = 2230 g
= final temperature of water = 
= initial temperature of metal = ?
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:



Thus, the initial temperature of the water is 
Answer:
Soluable
Explanation:
Because salt dissolves in water.. Your question has no background information to go off of
Answer:
The water molecules slow down, stronger attractions form between them, and the molecules are pulled closer together.
Explanation:
In solids the packing of the particles is closer and tighter thus increasing the intermolecular attraction. This makes solids rigid with a definite shape, size and volume. On the other hand in liquids the packing of the particles is loose thus decreasing the intermolecular attraction. This makes liquids able to flow, and takes the shape and volume of the container in which they are placed.
