Answer:- C. Hafnium.

Solution:- Mass of the sample is 46.0 g and it's volume is 3.5cm^3 .

From mass and volume, we can calculate it's density using the formula:

density=\frac{mass}{volume}

density=\frac{46.9g}{3.5cm^3}

density=\frac{13.4g}{cm^3}

On the basis of the density, this substance could either be mercury or hafnium. Since the substance is a solid at room temperature where as mercury is liquid. So, it can't be mercury.

The right choice is C) Hafnium.

a gas measured a volume 100 mL under pressure of 740 mmHg. What would the volume be under a pressure of 780 mmHg with constant t
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

<h2>94.87 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The new volume can be found by using the formula for Boyle's law which is

P_1V_1 = P_2V_2

Since we're finding the new volume

V_2 =  \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}  \\

We have

V_2 =  \frac{100 \times 740}{780}  =  \frac{74000}{780}  \\  = 94.8717...

We have the final answer as

<h3>94.87 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
