Answer:

Element X is Arsenic (As)

Explanation:

Elements in the periodic table are either metals, non-metals or metalloids.
Metals are elements that react by losing electrons to obtain a stable configuration and form cation.
Non-metals are those elements that react by gaining electrons to form a stable configuration and form anion.
Metalloids are elements in the periodic table that have both metallic and non-metallic properties.
Examples of metalloids include Selenium, Arsenic, Boron, etc.
Arsenic is a metalloid in period 4 (four energy levels) with five valence electrons.

Explain how the information given below could be used to determine the concentration of an unknown sample.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:Plot the known concentrations and adsorbance data. Draw a best fit line through thwe points. When the absorbance of a solution of unknown concentration (but same substance) is determined, find the concentration from the line at that absorption value. See attached graph.

E.g., an sample of the same substance had an absorbance of 0.35. Find that on the x scale and then determine the concentration that would be required to produce that level of absorbance. 0.483M in this case.
