A cylinder at left with balls stacked near the bottom of the cylinder has an arrow leading to a cylinder at right cylinder with balls in a layer on the bottom of the cylinder. How is energy related to the change of state represented by the model? Atoms gain energy as a solid changes to a liquid. Atoms gain energy as a solid changes to a gas. Atoms lose energy as a solid changes to a liquid. Atoms lose energy as a solid changes to a gas.

The starship enterprise is caught in a time warp and spock is forced to use the primitive techniques of the 20th century to determine the specific heat capacity of an unknown mineral. the 125-g sample was heated to 96.3°c and placed into a calorimeter containing 85.9 g of water at 20.0°c. the heat capacity of the calorimeter was 14.2 j/k. the final temperature in the calorimeter was 24.5°c. what is the specific heat capacity (in j/g°c) of the mineral? enter to 4 decimal places.
