What is the mass of water the first six minutes?

The mass of water used in the first six minutes depends on the rate of flow of water. If we know the flow rate, we can calculate the mass using the formula: Mass = flow rate x time.


What characteristic was used to organize the first periodic table?

Mendeleev arranged the periodic table according to increasing atomic mass. This method has been used since he first developed it in the 1800s.


What is the mass of the beaker and fluid on the triple beam balance?

To determine the mass of the beaker and fluid on a triple beam balance, you would first place the beaker filled with the fluid on the balance. Then, you adjust the sliders on the beams until the balance is level, indicating that the total mass is equal to the sum of the beaker's mass and the fluid's mass. The reading on the balance will give you the combined mass of both the beaker and the fluid. If you need the mass of each separately, you can weigh the empty beaker first and then subtract that mass from the total.


What is the atomic mass of 25mg?

The atomic mass of a substance is the mass of one mole of that substance. To calculate the atomic mass of 25 mg of a specific element, you would first need to determine the molar mass of that element. You can then use the molar mass to convert the mass of the sample (25 mg) to the number of moles, and then calculate the atomic mass of that amount.


How is conservation of mass in chemical and physical changes similar?

Where was the first mass in the Philippines held?

The first Catholic mass in the Philippines was held in Limasawa, an island town of Southern Leyte. This is the popular view. It is false. Here's a brief explanation of this great historical error: All the five eyewitness accounts of Magellan's voyage--by Antonio Pigafetta, Gines de Mafra, Francisco Albo, The Genoese Pilot, and Martín de Ayamonte--that contain references to a port named Mazaua, do not mention any island named Limasawa. There is no Philippine language that has that word. In fact, the placename "Limasawa" is an invention of Fr. Francisco Combés, S.J. Combés published in 1667 a book on evangelization of Mindanao. In his story he narrates the sojourn of Ferdinand Magellan's fleet in Philippine waters. He states the fleet went to Butuan where a cross was planted on March 31, 1521. He mentions no mass held on that day. In fact his Limasawa is not the Mazaua of Magellan. It is the isle Gatighan which is found at 10 degrees North latitude. In the story and map of Antonio Pigafetta, it is the waystation where the Armada de Molucca hove to late in the afternoon of April 4, 1521 where they caught one bat which they ate. Gatighan, like Limasawa, did not afford any anchorage. It will be recalled Fr. Combés had no knowledge of Mazaua that was correct and factual. He in fact dismissed the account of Antonio de Herrera y Tordesillas who said the island-port was named Mazaua. Instead Combés opted for the garbled story by Giovanni Battista Ramusio who said the port was Butuan. Combés also dismissed the name given four years earlier by Fr. Francisco Colín, S.J., for the same island. Colín's name for Pigafetta's Gatighan was "Dimasawa," an invented word, which was to signify it is not the Mazaua of Antonio de Herrera y Tordesillas where an Easter mass was held. Colín and Combés both adopted the story--garbled and awfully mistaken--of Giovanni Battista Ramusio that the island-port where a mass was held was Butuan. If Limasawa and Dimasawa are misnomers for Pigafetta's Gatighan, who then said that Limasawa and Mazaua are one and the same? The man who said Combés's Limasawa is Magellan's Mazaua was Carlo Amoretti who had not only not read Combés but had not read a single primary account of Magellan's voyage except the Italian manuscript of Antonio Pigafetta. He certainly did not read Ginés de Mafra's account which is the most authoritative on Mazaua. Ginés de Mafra was the only crewmember of the fleet who was able to return to Mazaua, in 1543, and stayed there for about six (6) months. He was part of the expedition under Ruy Lopez de Villalobos. His testimony about the port is precise. In any case, Carlo Amoretti said in his edition of the Italian Pigafetta which he published in 1800 that Limasawa may be the island named Limasawa in the map of Jacques N. Bellin and that both are found in latitude 9 degrees and 40 minutes as located by Pigafetta. What he did not know was that Limasawa is in 9 deg. 56 minutes North, and there are three readings for Mazaua: Pigafetta's, Albo's 9 degrees and 20 minutes North, and The Genoese Pilot's 9 degrees North. What is most telling is the fact that Limasawa, as stated by the Coast Pilot, has no anchorage. Mazaua had an excellent harbor. Philippine historians and historiographers who have entered the discussion on Mazaua are not navigation historians and therefore this technicality has not registered on them. It is lamentable that those who're engaged in this controversy do not take the pains to trace the word "Limasawa" to its very beginning, 1667 when it was first invented by Combés who knew nothing about Mazaua, and what he knew of it was absolutely wrong. And they should indeed trace the idea Limasaw=Mazaua to Carlo Amoretti who was ignorant of what Combés's Limasawa was.For a full discussion, pls. go to www.xeniaeditrice.it/mazaua.pdf.

Where is Limasawa?

Limasawa is a 6th class municipality and an island of the same name in the province of Southern Leyte, Philippines. According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 5,157 people in 1,108 households. It lies south of Leyte, in the Mindanao Sea. The island is about 10 km from north to south.


What was Carlo Amoretti's role in making the name Gatighan the waystation of Magellan's Armada into the isle named Limasawa What was his proof in saying Limasaua was Mazaua?

Carlo Amoretti played a crucial role in identifying Limasawa as the historic Mazaua, a waystation of Magellan's Armada, by analyzing historical accounts and geographical descriptions from the expedition. He argued that Limasawa matched the descriptions of Mazaua's location, particularly its proximity to the mouth of a river and its suitability for harboring ships. Amoretti's proof relied on cross-referencing Magellan's own logs and accounts from other explorers, emphasizing the island's characteristics that aligned with those of Mazaua. His work helped solidify Limasawa's significance in the history of early European exploration in the Philippines.
