Answer:
weighing balance/analytical balance
Graduated cylinder/buret
Explanation:
The mass of the evaporating basin could be measured using a weighing balance or an analytical balance. Both are classified as weighing scales but the analytical balance can measure the mass of objects up to 4 decimal places, thus, providing better accuracy in measurement than ordinary weighing balance that can only measure up to 2 decimal places.
In order to measure 50 cm3 of the sea water, a graduated cylinder or a buret can be used. Both equipment can measure up to the same decimal places and, thus, have virtually the same accuracy.
2.2 x 10^-2
0.055 / 250 = 0.00022 - This would be 2.2 x 10^-4, but the question is asking for percent, not proportion, so multiply by 100% to get the percentage.
0.00022 * 100% = 0.022% = 2.2 * 10^-2
There are 30 protons and 39 neutrons in the nucleus.
This must me the isotope of an element with an atomic mass close to 69 u.
The only candidates are Zn and Ga.
Zn has a zinc-69 isotope with mass 68.926 u.
Ga has a gallium -69 isotope with mass 68.925 u.
The isotope is probably

.
It has 30 protons and 39 neutrons.
Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the article found on the Scientific American website.
Explanation:
<em>Remember,</em> according to that article we are told that scientists notice that these insects have a long nymphal (immature form before becoming adults) stage, one that can last up to 13 to 17 years on the ground before they leave the ground looking for mating partners.
Because it is only after mating occurs at this point that their eggs are laid, that is why scientists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years.
