As one might predict from a button called "lose energy", this resulted in a decrease in the total energy of the system of two He atoms. Remember that this molecule is part of the surroundings. In the box below, explain how the molecule participates in this decrease in total energy of the system of two He atoms. (Hint: at this atomic-molecular level, what actions are occurring?)

A calorimeter contains 100.0 g of water at 39.8 ºC. An 8.23 g metal object at 50.0 ºC is placed in the calorimeter. When equilibrium has been reached, the new temperature of the water and metal object is 40.0 ºC. What type of metal is the object made from (Refer to Table 1 )? (Assume that all the heat released by the metal was absorbed by the water.) Show all work with units. The answer must contain the correct units and the correct number of significant figures, please
