Distinguish heat (energy transferred between a system and its surroundings) from temperature (a measure of average kinetic energy), and describe chemical reactions as energy transfers in which total energy is conserved.
Assume that the heat released by the metal is equal to the heat absorbed by the water in beaker B, calculated in 2a. Determine the specific heat capacity of the metal. Use section 1 of the data booklet. If you have no answer to 2a, take the heat transferred to…
