1) State the chemical reaction

4M + O2 ---> 2M2O

2) State the molar ratios

4 mol M : 1 mol O2 : 2 mol M2O

3) Calculate the number of moles of M2O produced

4 mol M / 2 mol M2O = 2 mol M / x => x = 2 mol M * 2 mol M2O / 4 mol M

=> x = 1 mol M2O

4) Calculate the molar mass of M2O

molar mass = mass in grams / number of moles = 62.0 g / 1 mol = 62.0 g/mol

5) Calculate the atomic mass of M

molar mass of M2O = 2 * atomic mass of M + atomic mass of O =>

62.0 = 2 * atomic mass of M + 16

=> atomic mass of M = [62.0 - 16] / 2 = 23

6) Compare that atomic mass with the atomic masses of the metals in the periodic table.

You will find that 23 is the atomic mass of sodium.

Answer: sodium

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Mercury responds to temperatures differently than water. When mercury is cold, the molecules bunch together, making it seem to be less liquid, and the opposite happens during heat.

Hope this helps!

Veronica is taking an average of 16 height measurements in a brand-new experiment. Which term is this the best example of? repli
Karolina [17]

Answer:

repetition

Explanation:

Taking an average of 16 height measurements is an example of repetition. Repetition involves making and taking repeated measurements in an experiment.

The goal is to achieve a highly accurate and precise data from the experiment.

  • Replication involves duplicating another experiment and testing to see how valid they are.
  • Since Veronica's experiment is a brand new one, it's hypothesis has not been tested or replicated in any way.
  • Therefore, it is not a replication.
  • But she is repeating the experiment to obtain different values.

Why Are aquifers important to our freshwater supply? 5TH GRADE ANSWER c:
ANEK [815]

Explanation:

Aquifers are porous and permeable formations that stores ground water. The ground water system is made up of mostly fresh water.

  • An aquifer acts as a reserve for ground water in the environment.
  • By passing through different formations, water that recharges them are purified.
  • This makes them fresh and mostly free from salt intrusion

An aquifer is able to store this fresh water and it is is good prospect for sourcing ground water.
