Answer:

12 (Magnesium- Mg)

Explanation:

Looking at the four numbers, we have:

Magnesium, Silicon, Sulfur, and Chlorine.

We can eliminate two of the answers immediately just by looking at the periodic table.

Sulfur and Chlorine are on the nonmetal side of the periodic table. So that's definitely not it. That leaves Magnesium and Silicon.

Silicon is a Metalloid. Magnesium is an Alkaline earth Metal.

Metaloids are elements that have a mix of both metal and nonmetal properties (luster, how it feels, etc.). Since it's a MIX and Magnesium is just straight METAL-

We can say Magnesium has the most metallic properties.

hope this helps!!

State one use and one disadvantage of the expansion of materials when they are heated.

Reil [10]

An example of the use of expansion of materials when they are heated is in

Thermometers. Thermometer is an instrument which is used to measure the

temperature of a place.

It contains mercury which expands as temperature increases. This is used

to accurately determine the temperature of an object.

The disadvantage of expansion of materials when they are heated can be

seen in roads as there is expansion of the surface as a result of heat

exposure leads to roads being rough thereby incurring more costs for

repairs.

At a depth of 1030 m in Lake Baikal (a fresh water lake in Siberia), the pressure has increased by 100 atmospheres (to about 107

dangina [55]

Answer:

A volume of a cubic meter of water from the surface of the lake has been compressed in 0.004 cubic meters.

Explanation:

The bulk modulus is represented by the following differential equation:

$K = - V\cdot \frac{dP}{dV}$

Where:

$K$ - Bulk module, measured in pascals.

$V$ - Sample volume, measured in cubic meters.

$P$ - Local pressure, measured in pascals.

Now, let suppose that bulk remains constant, so that differential equation can be reduced into a first-order linear non-homogeneous differential equation with separable variables:

$-\frac{K \,dV}{V} = dP$
