Answer: She discovered polonium and radium.

Explanation: In 1896, intrigued by the physicist Henri Becquerel’s accidental discovery of radioactivity, Curie began studying uranium rays; Pierre soon joined her in her research. Two years later, the Curies discovered polonium—named after Marie’s homeland—and radium. In 1903 they shared the Nobel Prize in physics with Becquerel for their groundbreaking work on radioactivity.

Answer:

The two elements are POLONIUM and RADIUM.

Explanation:

Maria Curie is a French physicist and chemist, though she was of a Polish naturals. She was the first woman to receive a Noble Price which she earned for conducting leading and head way research on radioactivity. She discovered the theory of radioactivity; also the techniques isolating radioactive isotopes. These helped her and her husband discover Polium and Radium.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Explanation:

Let us assume that the given data is as follows.

        V = 3.10 L,        T = 19^{o}C = (19 + 273)K = 292 K

       P = 40 torr    (1 atm = 760 torr)

So,     P = \frac{40 torr}{760 torr} \times 1 atm

             = 0.053 atm

          n = ?

According to the ideal gas equation, PV = nRT.

Putting the given values into the above equation to calculate the value of n as follows.

                 PV = nRT

   0.053 atm \times 3.10 L = n \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 292 K

                 0.1643 = n \times 23.97

                    n = 6.85 \times 10^{-3}

It is known that molar mass of ethanol is 46 g/mol. Hence, calculate its mass as follows.

               No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                 6.85 \times 10^{-3} = \frac{mass}{46 g/mol}  

                    mass = 315.1 \times 10^{-3} g

                              = 0.315 g

Thus, we can conclude that the mass of liquid ethanol is 0.315 g.
