You haven't attached any options but anyways, to help you with your question, elements belonging to the same group (e.g. alkali metals, noble gases) all have the same chemical properties. Hydrogen, for example, have the same properties with Sodium, Potassium and Lithium.

Explanation:</h3>
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
30 g SiO₂ (sand)
<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>
Molar Mass of Si - 28.09 g/mol
Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol
Molar Mass of SiO₂ - 28.09 + 2(16.00) = 60.09 g/mol
<u>Step 3: Convert</u>
- Set up:

0.499251 mol SiO₂ ≈ 0.50 mol SiO₂
Answer:
1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative
2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK
Explanation:
The temperature of an object can be written using different temperature scales.
The two most important scales are:
- Celsius scale: the Celsius degree is indicated with ºC. It is based on the freezing point of water (placed at 0ºC) and the boiling point of water (100ºC).
- Kelvin scale: the Kelvin is indicated with K. it is based on the concept of "absolute zero" temperature, which is the temperature at which matter stops moving, and it is placed at zero Kelvin (0 K), so this scale cannot have negative temperatures, since 0 K is the lowest possible temperature.
The expression to convert from Celsius degrees to Kelvin is:

Therefore in this problem, since the student reported a temperature of -3.5 ºK, the errors done are:
1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative
2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK
