Remember that density refers to the "mass per unit volume" of an object.
So, if an object had a mass of 100 grams and a volume of 100 milliliters, the density would be 100 grams / 100 ml.
In the question, water on the surface of the scale would add weight, so the mass of the object that you're weighing would appear to be heavier than it really is. If that happens, you'll incorrectly assume that the density is GREATER than it really is
As an example, suppose that there was 5 ml of water on the surface of the scale. Water has a density of 1 gram per milliliter (1 g/ml) so the water would add 5 grams to the object's weight. If we use the example above, the mass of the object would seem to be 105 grams, rather than 100 grams. So, you would calculate:
density = mass / volume
density = 105 grams / 100 ml
density = 1.05 g/ml
The effect on density would be that it would erroneously appear to be greater
Hope this helps!
Good luck
Answer:

Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, in terms of the heat, mass, heat capacity and change in temperature, we can analyze thermal changes as:

In such a way, we compute the required change in temperature as shown below:

Such change in temperature is positive indicating an increase in the temperature as the involved heat is positive, in means that heat was added to increase the temperature.
Best regards.
Answer:
Calcium
Explanation:
Since the element reacts with oxygen to form an oxide with the formula MO, the charge on the element is +2.
Also, since the oxide MO when dissolved in water is basic, the metal is an alkali earth metal.
From the above conditions;
The metal is not arsenic because arsenic is a metalloid has the following oxides As₂O₃ and As₃O₅ and are respectively amphoteric and acidic in nature
The metal is not germanium because is a metalloid and even though germanium oxide has the formula GeO₂, it is amphoteric.
The metal is not chlorine because chlorine is a non-metal
The metal is definitely calcium because calcium oxide has the formula CaO and calcium is an alkaline earth metal.
The metal is not selenium because selenium is anon-meal and its oxide has the formula Se0₂ and is acidic
