The identity of the metal is copper.
<h3>What is specific heat?</h3>
The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius.
Using the formula of specific heat
H = mcdT
Where, H = Heat absorbed
m = mass of the metal
c = specific heat capacity of the metal
dT = temperature change
Putting the values in the equation
20 J = 0.0052 Kg × c × ( 40.0°C - 30.0°C)
c = 20 J/0.0052 Kg × ( 40.0°C - 30.0°C)
c = 385 JKg-1°C-1
Thus, the metal is copper.

Answer:i believe you are to decompose the formula (i think)
An element cannot be broken down into any other substance by physical or chemical means.
Laws of conservation of mass - It states that mass can neither created nor destroyed. The total mass before and after a chemical reaction remains constant. Laws of constant proportion - It states that in a chemical substance the elements are always present in a fixed proportion by their mass.
