GPT 3.5
To calculate the mass of metal that burns to produce an enthalpy change of -9.00 * 10^4 kJ, we need to know the specific enthalpy change (ΔH) of combustion for the metal.

The equation for calculating the mass of metal is:

Mass = ΔH / ΔH of combustion

Assuming the specific enthalpy change of combustion is known, let's say it's -400 kJ/g (this value will vary depending on the metal), we can now calculate the mass of metal as follows:

Mass = (-9.00 * 10^4 kJ) / (-400 kJ/g)

Dividing -9.00 * 10^4 kJ by -400 kJ/g, we can cancel out the kJ units:

Mass = (9.00 * 10^4) / 400 g

Mass = 225 g

Therefore, the mass of metal that burns to produce an enthalpy change of -9.00 * 10^4 kJ is 225 grams.
