You are given a 52.0 gram sample of a hot metal that has an initial temperature of 98.0˚C. The hot metal is placed in a coffee cup calorimeter, which contains 100 grams of cool water with an initial temperature of 21.0 ˚ C. After a minute or so, the final temperature of both the metal and the water in the calorimeter is 25.0 ˚C. Calculate the specific heat of the metal.

Astable electron arrangement for an atom is one that does not easily change. how is this arrangement arrived at? a. valence electrons are transferred or shared to create a full outer shell of electrons. b. valence electrons are discarded into space to create a full outer shell of electrons. c. protons (positive charge) pair with valence electrons (negative charge) to create a strong bond. d. outer shells with valence electrons are transferred or shared.
