Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we use a thermometer to measure the temperature of water then heat from the water will lead to represent an increase in the thermometer reading.

This is because heat or warmth from the water will get transferred to the thermometer as a result, the liquid in the thermometer will also get warm.

Therefore, this warmth will increase kinetic energy of the molecules of liquid in the thermometer. Hence, the liquid will spread.

Thus, we can conclude that the liquid in the thermometer to rise because  molecules in the thermometer’s liquid spread apart.

A divalent metal oxide contains 60 % of metal. What is atomic weight of metal ?​
kow [346]

Atomic weight of metal : 24

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Proust states the Comparative Law that compounds are formed from elements with the same Mass Comparison so that compounds have a fixed composition of elements

Divalent metal oxide=XO

MW O = 16

MW XO₂ =  X+16

\tt \%mass=\dfrac{Ar~X}{X+16}\times 100\%\\\\0.6=\dfrac{X}{X+16}\\\\0.6(X+16)=X\\\\0.6X+9.6=X\\\\0.4X=9.6\rightarrow X=24
