Explanation:

The end goal of this question is to find density. Density can be found using the following formula:

D=m/v

D=Density

m=mass

v=volume

Therefore we need mass and volume to find density. Mass is already given in the question as 142g. All we have left is volume. When a solid is placed in water in a graduated cylinder the volume goes up. This means if you subtract the volume after the metal was placed from before it was placed, you can find the volume of the metal. Therefore the volume of the metal is 40mL-20mL=20mL. However typically, volume is found in liters so the volume should be .04L-.02L=0.02L. Now that we have volume and mass we can find density using the formula d=m/v. So 142/.02=7,100 grams per liget or 7.1 kilograms per liter. This answer seems unrealistic so I would double check with your teacher about the question.

The sun evaporates the water from a stream or some type of water source and it then gets collected  into the clouds and then condensation and the last step is when the water is too heavy so the clouds release it and that is called precipitation. hope this helps.

Rank the following elements by electron affinity 1) fluorine 2) selenium 3) arsenic 4) potassum 5) argon
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Fluorine > Selenium > Arsenic > Potassium > Argon

Explanation:

Electron affinity describes the ability or readiness or tendency of an atom to gain an electron.

The higher the value, the higher the tendency. Electron affinity depends on the on the nuclear charge and atomic radius. When nuclear charge is more, electron affinity is high, when atomic radius increases electron affinity reduces.

Noble gases such as Helium, Neon, and Argon would have 0 affinity for electrons because of their stable electronic configuration. From the list, Ar is the least in terms of electron affinity.

Potassium is a metal with large electropositivity which describes the tendency of an atom to lose electrons. Potassium would readily lose electrons instead of gaining.

Between Arsenic and Selenium: Arsenic belongs to group V and Selenium group VI. The two elements both belong to period IV on the periodic table. Across a period, electron affinity increases due to increase in nuclear charge. Therefore, Selenium would have a greater electron affinity compared to Arsenic.

Fluorine has the highest electron affinity of all. It needs just an electron to complete its octet.

What is the total number of joules released when a 5.00-gram sample of water changes from liquid to solid at 0°C?
Marrrta [24]
Energy released from changing the phase of a substance from the liquid phase to solid phase can be calculated by using the specific latent heat of fusion. The heat of fusion of water at 0 degrees Celsius is 334 J/g. Calculation are as follows:
<span>
Energy = 5 grams x 334 J/g
</span><span>Energy = 1670 J</span>
