O,P,Ge ranked from atomic radius
Answer:
Mass
Step-by-step explanation:
Usually, you plot the independent variable along the horizontal (x) axis and the dependent variable along the vertical (y) axis.
Marcia's teacher plotted the mass of the sample along the x-axis and volume along the y-axis.
The mass is the independent variable, because that is <em>what the teacher varied</em>.
The volume is the <em>dependent variable</em>, because it <em>depends</em> on the mass.
Sample number is <em>wrong</em>, because it is not a variable.
Substance is <em>wrong</em>, because all samples consist of the same substance.
Density is <em>wrong</em>, because it is constant. It is the slope of the graph.
First, we calculate the mass of the sample:
mass = density x volume
mass = 8.48 x 112.5
mass = 954 grams
Now, we will calculate the mass of each component using its percentage mass, then divide it by its atomic mass to find the moles and finally multiply the number of moles by the number of particles in a mole, that is, 6.02 x 10²³.
Zinc mass = 0.37 x 954
Zinc mass = 352.98 g
Zinc moles = 352.98 / 65
Zinc moles = 5.43
Zinc atoms = 5.43 x 6.02 x 10²³
Zinc atoms = 3.27 x 10²⁴
Copper mass = 0.63 x 954
Copper mass = 601.02 g
Copper moles = 601.02 / 64
Copper moles = 9.39
Copper atoms = 9.39 x 6.02 x 10²³
Copper atoms = 5.56 x 10²⁴
