In a solid, molecules are packed together, and it keeps its shape. Liquids take the shape of the container. Gases spread out to fill the container. Solid is one of the three main states of matter, along with liquid and gas.

Weathering is the process by which rocks are broken down by either physical or chemical means. Physical weathering involves physical factors that cause mechanical break down of rocks while chemical weathering involves chemical reactions between the contents of the rocks and other factors such air (oxygen). Agents of weathering are the factors that cause or enhance both physical and chemical weathering. Some of these factors cause both physical and chemical weathering these includes water and temperature.
Specific gravity is the ratio of density of substance and density of water
We know that density of water = 1 g /mL at standard conditions
now as given that the 0.8 Kg of the substance / object is able to displace 500mL of water , it means that
Mass of object = 800g
The volume occupied by 800g of object = 500 mL
Density = mass / volume
Density of object = 800 / 500= 1.6 g / mL
The specific gravity of object = density of object / density of water = 1.6 / 1 = 1.6 (no units)
Answer:
Depends how much water and the temperature of the water. To heat 1 mL of water by 1 degree C 1 cal of energy (4.184 Joules) is required. Assuming that the water is at 25 degrees C, to boil one litre (liter) of water you would require 75,000 cal or 313.8 kJ.
