Pls assist if you can.<br>Reasons why hydrogen was chosen as a standard reference to other elements
MrMuchimi

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Hydrogen either reacts with or is formed by reactions with many other elements, so chemists could use it directly to determine their relative masses.
  • Hydrogen has the smallest atomic mass, so it was convenient to give H a relative atomic mass of 1 and assign those of other elements as multiples of this number.

The O = 16 scale became the standard in 1903 and carbon-12 was chosen in 1961.

Which physical method can be used for obtaining a sample of salt from a sm
lana [24]

The physical method that can be used for obtaining a sample of salt from a small beaker of salt and water would be evaporation.

<h3>Separation of salt and water</h3>

A mixture of salt and water can be separated by a method known as evaporation. This is based on the assumption that the salt in question is a water-soluble salt.

In order to separate the salt/water mixture:

  • Place the mixture in a suitable evaporating dish
  • Boil the mixture until all the water evaporates.
  • The remaining residue would be the salt

Care should be taken not to overheat the residue in order to avoid melting. Evaporation is generally used to separate a mixture of water and soluble salt. If the salt is insoluble, filtration using a suitable filter paper will filter off the salt while the water is collected as the filtrate.
