The postmortem cooling or algor mortis gets fixed by 8- 10 hours after death. The temperature of the body after death can be used to determine the time since death.
Answer:
Explanation:
the molecular mass of Na2C6H6O7 =236 g\mole it has a sodium that has 23 g/mole so 7.6 g of Na2C6H6O7 has x of sodium mass
236 g/mole ⇒ 23g/mole
<h2> 7.6 g ⇒ ˣ </h2>
7.6 x 23 ÷ 236 = 74.07×10-2 grams of sodium

The statement that is NOT a part
of John Dalton's atomic theory Electrons move in specific orbits around the
nucleus of an atom. The statements ‘All elements are composed of atoms that
cannot be divided’, ‘All atoms of the same element are exactly alike and have
the same mass’ and ‘Every compound is composed of atoms of different elements,
combined in a specific ratio’ are not his theory.
