Hello!

Based on these facts, we should classify Germanium as a Metalloid.

Metalloids are chemical elements with a mixture of properties from metals and non-metals. Although Germanium has a metallic appearance (typical of metals), it doesn't have the conductive properties of metals, but is a semiconductor. The semiconductive properties of Germanium are used in applications like transistors and chips.

Have a nice day!

Schach [20]

In the extraction process of steel, one of the step is purification of the iron used to make the steel. In which pure oxygen is blown on the steel at high temperature so that the carbon percentage present in the steel can be thrown out in the form of gas. The process occurs at high temperature which is called combustion process. The reaction occurs can be shown as- C(s)+O_{2}→CO_{2} (g) + CO (g). In presence of excess oxygen, the produced carbon mono oxide (CO) converts to carbon di-oxide. The reaction is CO(g) + O_{2}(g) → CO_{2} (g). From the density of the evolved gas one could identify the gas. If the gas density is 1.77g/L which is very close to the standard density of CO_{2} i.e. 1.80g/L, the gas is carbon dioxide only.

A sample of an unknown substance has a mass of 0.158 kg. If 2,510.0 J of heat is required to heat the substance from 32.0°C to 6
JulijaS [17]
Specific heat is the amount of heat absorb or released by a substance to change the temperature to one degree Celsius. To determine the specific heat, we use the expression for the heat absorbed by the system. Heat gained or absorbed in a system can be calculated by multiplying the given mass to the specific heat capacity of the substance and the temperature difference. It is expressed as follows:
Heat = mC(T2-T1)
By substituting the given values, we can calculate for C which is the specific heat of the material.
2510 J = .158 kg ( 1000 g / 1 kg) (C) ( 61.0 - 32.0 °C)C = 0.5478 J / g °C

gtnhenbr [62]
This question could be answered easily if the results of the abundance of the other elements are given. You will just have to subtract the sum of all their abundances to 100. Since it's not given, the solution would just be:

Na = 23 g/mol* 1 = 23 g
H = 1 g/mol * 1 = 1 g
C = 12 g/mol * 1 = 12 g
O = 16 g/mol * 3 = 48 g
Total = 84 g

% O = 48/84 * 100 = <em>57.14%</em>
