Franklin was performing an experiment by combining hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide. He measured the mass of his reactant materials to be 35g. The reaction resulted in the production of salt and water. He reported that his products weighed 32g. Which best describes the results of Franklin’s experiment? No error occurred, some of the products are always lost as heat. An error occurred, the mass of the reactants should equal the mass of the products. An error occurred, the products should weigh more than the reactants. No error occurred, water is not weighed when determining the weight of the products.

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."

your answer is c) plasma

it should have an internal chamber and two thermometers sticking out of the top. the internal chamber will also be closed off from the outside.
