Susan and her friend found a piece of metal which they want to identify. Here is what they figure out so far:
Mass of this metal is 74 g
Volume of this metal is 40 cm3

The given  metal is beryllium.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of metal = 74 g

Volume of metal = 40 cm³

Which metal is this = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the density.

it is mass divided by volume.

d = m/v

d = 74 g/40 cm³

d = 1.85 g/cm³

In literature it is given that the density of beryllium is 1.85 g/cm³. Thus given  metal is beryllium.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
