A 1.42-g sample of a pure compound with formula m2so4 was dissolved in water and treated with an ex- cess of aqueous calcium chl
solong [7]

The reaction between m_{2}SO_{4} with calcium chloride can be shown as-m_{2}SO_{4}+CaCl_{2}→CaSO_{4}↓+2mCl. The molecular weight of CaSO_{4} is 136.14g. The weight of sulfate ion is 96.06g. The molecular weight of m_{2}SO_{4} = (2×m + 96.06). From the reaction we can see that 1 mole of calcium chloride reacts with 1 molesm_{2}SO_{4} to produce 1 mole of calcium sulfate. Now 1.36g of calcium sulfate is equivalent to 1.36/136.14=9.989×10^{-3} moles of calcium sulfate.

Thus, 9.989×10^{-3} moles of m_{2}SO_{4} reacts in this reaction.

Let assume the atomic mass of m is x thus the molecular weight of m_{2}SO_{4} is 2x+96.

So we may write 9.989×10^{-3}× (2x+96) =1.42

Or, 2x + 96 = 142.146

Or, 2x = 46.146

Or, x = 23.073

Thus the atomic mass of m is 23.073. The atom (m) is sodium (Na).

azamat

Answer: the line Spectra of hydrogen lies between the ultra-violet, visible light and infra-red of the electro magnetic spectrum

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation spans an wide range of wavelengths and frequencies. This range is called the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum is generally divided into seven regions, in order of decreasing wavelength and increasing energy and frequency. The 7 regions includes; radio waves, microwaves, infrared (IR), visible light, ultraviolet (UV), X-rays and gamma rays.

lower-energy radiation, such as radio waves, is expressed as frequency while microwaves, infrared, visible and UV light are usually expressed as wavelength and finally, higher-energy radiation such as X-rays and gamma rays, is expressed in terms of energy per photon.

Therefore, hydrogen lies between the ultra-violet, visible light and infra-red region of the electro magnetic spectrum.

The electronic configuration of an element is given below.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

It is reactive because it has to gain an electron to have a full outermost energy level.

Explanation:

The electron configuration of oxygen is 1s2,2s2 2p4.

Oxygen is in group six in the periodic table so it has six electrons in its valence shell. This means that it needs to gain two electrons to obey the octet rule and have a full outer shell of electrons (eight).
