Answer : (C) Hafnium is the most likely identity of the given substance.

Solution :  Given,

Mass of given substance (m) = 46.9 g

Volume of given substance (V) = 3.5 Cm^{3}

First, find the Density of given substance.

Formula used :    

Density=\frac{\text{Mass of given substance}}{\text{Voume of given substance}}

Now,put all the values in this formula, we get

Density=\frac{46.9 g}{3.5 Cm^{3} } = 13.4 g/Cm^{3}

So, we conclude that the density of given substance (13.4 g/Cm^{3}) is approximately equal to the density of Mercury and Hafnium (13.53 and 13.31 g/Cm^{3} respectively).

According to the question the substance is solid at room temperature but Mercury is liquid at room temperature. So, Mercury is not identical to the given substance.

Another element i.e, Hafnium is the element whose density is approximately equal to the given substance and also solid at room temperature. And we know that the melting point of solid is high.

So, Hafnium is the most likely element which is the identity of the given substance.

What is the pH of a 3.9•10-8 M OH- solution
Mice21 [21]
POH will be -log[conc of OH]
-log (3.9E-08) = 7.409
pH = 14- pOH
pH = 14 - 7.409
pH = 6.59

Mercury has an atomic number of 80 and a mass number of 200.
denis23 [38]
C. The mass number is the amount of Protons and electrons there are combined, so 200 - 80 is 120.
