To save you time, the mass of the container is recorded on the card at the station. Find the mass of the element. Find the mass of one mole of the element. Once you have calculated the mass of one mole, refer to your periodic table to find the identity of the element. Before you leave the station, be sure to write a brief physical description of the element.
Chemists often identify elements from their physical properties.
As always, rezero the balance before leaving the lab station. Good luck in learning the identities of the elements. Period Name Please record your measurements and calculations to the correct degree of accuracy. Since the author of this activity is unknown, no contact information is available.
