The choices for this problem are bismuth, Bi; platinum, Pt; selenium, Se; calcium, Ca and copper, Cu. I think the correct answer would be selenium. The melting point of bismuth is at a temperature of 544.4 Kelvin. At a temperature of 525 K, it would exist as solid. Platinum melts at 2041.1 K. At 525 K, platinum would be in solid form. Selenium has a melting point at 494 K so that at a temperature of 525 K, it would exist in its liquid state. Calcium has a melting point of 1112 K so it would exist as solid at 525 K. Copper has a melting point at 1358 K, so it would still exist as solid at a temperature of 525 K. Therefore, the answer would only be selenium.
Answer: -
The experiment Niven is doing is burning of Mg.
The first step would be finding the molar mass of MgO
Atomic mass of Mg = 24 g
Atomic mass of Oxygen = 16 g
Molar mass of MgO = 24 x 1 + 16 x 1 = 40 g
The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is
2 Mg + O2 -- > 2MgO
From the balanced equation we see that
2 Mg gives 2 MgO
2 x24 g of Mg O gives 2 x 40 g of MgO.
28g of MgO gives
= 46.66 g of MgO.
