Answer:

So X has an atomic mass of 55.05 u, and is probably Mn

Explanation:

Step1: Balance the equation

XI2 +Cl2 → XCl2 + I2

Step2: find the molar mass of the compounds

Compounds : 

X ⇒ Molar mass = M

XI2 ⇒ Molar mass = M + 2*126.9 u

XCl2 ⇒Molar mass = M + 2*35.45u

⇒For 1 mole XI2 we have 1 mole Cl2 reacting , as well as 1 mole XCl2 and 1 mole I2 produced.

Step 3: Calculating the atomic mass

(1.383g * XI2) / (M + 2*126.90 u) = (0.564g * XCl2) / ( M + 2 * 35.45u)

1.383 (M + 2 *35.45 u )= 0.564 (M + 2*126.90)

1.383M + 98.0547 = 0.564 M + 143.1432

1.383 M - 0.564 M =143.1432 - 98.0547

0.819 M = 45.0885

M = 55.05 u

So X has an atomic mass of 55.05 u ⇒ if we look at the periodic table we can find that the closest element is Manganese (Mn)

MnI2 + Cl2 → MnCl2 + I2

Relate dark matter to the development of the universe after the Big Bang. In 3-5 sentences, speculate on how the development of

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Dark matter makes up 85% of the mass of the universe. Dark matter is not directly observable because it doesn't interact with any electromagnetic wave. In the development of the universe, without dark matter, the universe will not function, move or rotate as it does now (this speculation led to the quest to find the anomaly of mass and energy in the known universe, eventually leading to the idealization of dark matter) and will not have enough gravitational force to hold it together. After the big bang, the presence of dark matter and energy ensured that the newly formed universe didn't just float away, rather, it provided enough gravitational force to hold the universe while still allowing it to expand sufficiently.

The development of the universe would have been different without the universe in the sense that the young universe won't have enough mass to hold it together, and the universe would have simply floated apart. The behavior of the universe would have been different from what we observe now, and some physical laws that applies now will not apply to the universe.

What is the source of energy in nuclear power plants?

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

<h2>URANIUM </h2>

Explanation:

What is the source of energy in nuclear power plants?

Uranium is the fuel most widely used by nuclear plants for nuclear fission. Uranium is considered a nonrenewable energy source, even though it is a common metal found in rocks worldwide. Nuclear power plants use a certain kind of uranium, referred to as U-235, for fuel because its atoms are easily split apart.

How do trends in the periodic table help predict the properties of an element

irina1246 [14]

As you move around there is a change in: electronegativies, ionisation energies, atomic radius etc. different amounts of these properties are going to effect how the element acts
