2.5 million atoms of a particular element have a mass of 8.33 x 10-16 grams. what is this element

Find the mass of one atom by:

8.33 x 10^{-16} / 2.5 x 10^{6}  = 3.32 x 10^{-22} g

Convert it into amu.
1 g = 6.022 x 10^{23} amu
so, 3.32 x 10^{-22}  x  6.022 x 10^{23}  =  200.6 amu

Now look at the periodic table and search for 200.6 amu element.
The element is Mercury (Hg)

You would be correct, boiling water does disinfect contamination.    the property of disinfecting means to kill  germs, bacteria and other pathogens or contamination  that might cause an infection or cause a person to become sickly. a couple methods of disinfecting are using soap, other cleaning supplies or by simply "boiling" the contaminate.  the reason why boiling water disinfects certain attributes is because some cells cannot survive the heat and pressure.
