Answer:

Melting Point.

Explanation:

In testing of a sample has impurities, we have to check the samples’s melting or boiling points or we a separation technique called chromatography.

Now, CaBr_2 which is calcium bromide is a White Hygroscopic Powder. Therefore it is a solid.

Now, a pure solid will always have a fixed melting point which means that it will melt completely at only one temperature.

However, if there are impurities, the melting point of a substance is affected in two ways:

-It's lower than than the fixed melting point

- It would melt at a range of different temperatures as opposed to a fixed temperature for the pure form.

Therefore, a quantity that can be used to determine whether the sample was pure will be melting point.

In an experiment, a compound was determined to contain 68.94% oxygen and 31.06% of an unknown element by weight. The molecular w
monitta

Answer is: the compound is B₂O₃.

ω(O) = 68.94% ÷ 100%.

ω(O) = 0.6894; percentage of oxygen in the compound.

ω(X) = 31.06% ÷ 100%.

ω(X) = 0.3106; percentage of unknown element in the compound.

If we take 69.7 grams of the compound:

M(compound) = 69.7 g/mol.

n(compound) = 69.7 g ÷ 69.7 g/mol.

n(compound) = 1 mol.

n(O) = (69.7 g · 0.6894) ÷ 16 g/mol.

n(O) = 3 mol.

M(compound) = n(O) · M(O) + n(X) · M(X).

n(X) = 1 mol ⇒ M(X) = 21.7 g/mol; there is no element with this molecular weight.

n(X) = 2 mol ⇒ M(X) = 10.85 g/mol; this element is boron (B).

A gold nugget has a density of 38.6g/cm3 and a mass of 270.2. what is its volume?​
aivan3 [116]

Density is given by the equation D=m/V, were D is density, m is mass in grams, and V is volume in cubic centimeters.


In this problem, we have density and we have mass so we can plug into the equation and solve for V.

38.6=270.2/V

<em>*Multiply both sides by V*</em>

38.6V=270.2

<em>*Divide both sides by 38.6*</em>

V=7


The volume of the gold nugget is 7cm3.


Hope this helps!!

galben [10]

Answer:

The number of outer shell electrons determines the group number of the element. The number of occupied principle quantum shells (energy levels) determines the period of the element. The proton number determines the element itself and its position.
