b

If anything were left out for a long time, it would break into small pieces.

c

The sand was formed by earthquakes, tsunamis, and other natural disasters. These disasters were strong enough to break the rock into small pieces.

You are performing an experiment in a lab to attempt a new method of producing pure elements from compounds. the only problem is that you do not know what element will form. by your previous calculations you know that you will have 6.3 moles of product. when it is complete, you weigh it and determine you have 604.4 grams. what element have you produced?

The content of manganese (mn) in steel was determined spectrophotometrically and with the use of the standard addition method. an unknown sample of mn from a digested steel sample gave an absorbance of 0.185 when analyzed spectrophotometrically. when 5.00 ml of solution containing 95.5 ppm mn was added to 50.0 ml of the unknown steel solution (digested sample), the absorbance was 0.248. calculate the concentration, in parts-per-million (ppm), of mn in the digested steel sample solution.
