Answer : (C) Hafnium is the most likely identity of the given substance.
Solution : Given,
Mass of given substance (m) = 46.9 g
Volume of given substance (V) = 3.5 
First, find the Density of given substance.
Formula used :

Now,put all the values in this formula, we get
= 13.4 g/
So, we conclude that the density of given substance (13.4 g/
) is approximately equal to the density of Mercury and Hafnium (13.53 and 13.31 g/
respectively).
According to the question the substance is solid at room temperature but Mercury is liquid at room temperature. So, Mercury is not identical to the given substance.
Another element i.e, Hafnium is the element whose density is approximately equal to the given substance and also solid at room temperature. And we know that the melting point of solid is high.
So, Hafnium is the most likely element which is the identity of the given substance.
Answer:
I) Change in solubility
II) Change in boiling point
III) Change in colour
Explanation:
A chemical change involves formation of new products and is not reversible.
So, once two liquid solutions are mixed and a chemical change takes place, the new product will have the following:
- a new solubility rate, i.e it will dissolve at a rate different from the two liquid solution
- a new boiling point i.e it takes a new point at which its molecules liberate to yield vapour
- a new colour might be detected, as the individual solution each has its own colour
