Answer:
On the periodic table, there are two numbers for every element: the atomic number and the atomic weight.
The numbers at the top of the square represents the number of protons present in the atom's nucleus of that element. This is called the atomic number.
For example, the atomic number for the element Krypton is 36. That means that there are 36 protons in the nucleus. If there were not 36 protons in the nucleus of that atom, that would create the atom of a completely different element. For example, if one proton was to be removed from the nucleus of the atom for the element of Krypton that atom will be an atom of the element bromine.
Explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
Calculated density values-
Aluminum = 2.7 g/cm3
Copper = 9.0 g/cm3
Iron = 7.9 g/cm3
Titanium = 4.8 g/cm3
Unknown sample mass = 9.5 g
Sample volume = 2.1 cm3
<u>To determine:</u>
The identity of the unknown sample
<u>Explanation:</u>
'Density' is a physical parameter which can be used to identify the nature of the unknown substance.
Density = Mass/Volume
For the unknown sample
Density = 9.5 g/2.1 cm3 = 4.52 g/cm3
This matches closely with the calculated density of titanium
Ans: The unknown substance is made of titanium
1. Weird things like the one described above do not happen on a ramdom basis becuause molecules usually move within any enclosure in a ramdom manner. Thus, it is not possible for some types of particles to aggregate in one point while other types of molecule aggreagate in another point. Based on the kinetic energy that is available for each particle, each particle will move random
through the available space, colliding with one another and with the wall of container.
2. It will be a difficult thing to live in a Maxwell' demon world because, things will happen unpredictably and one will never know what to expect next because anything can happen at anytime. For instance, if one is drinking a glass of water, some of the particles of the water may just decide to aggregate to one part of the cup and start boiling. So, for someone who is taking a glass of water, the water may start boiling right inside his mouth when he is drinking, that will be a bad experience. When one is driving a car, the petrol particles may just decide to freeze up when one is busy speeding on the highway; that can cause a very serious accident. Thus, a world where the Maxwell law operates will be a chaotic world.
