If you drop a 25-gram piece of metal that has a temperature of 100° celsius into 1000 grams of water at 20° celsius, what best describes what would occur? 1. the temperature lost by the metal will equal the temperature gained by the water 2. the heat lost by the metal will equal the heat gained by the water 3. the final temperature will be 60 degrees celsius 4. the final temperature will be more than 60 degrees celsius

Answer is: 2. the heat lost by the metal will equal the heat gained by the water.

1) the temperature lost by the metal will equal the temperature gained by the water is not correct, because temperature is the intensity of heat present in a substance and a thermometer is a device that measures temperature or a temperature gradient.

3) the final temperature will be 60 degrees celsius  is not correct, because amount of water is greater than amount of metal, so the the final temperature will be less than 60 degrees celsius.

4) same as 3).

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
