Answer:
The formula of the original halide is SrCl₂.
Explanation:
- The balanced equation of this reaction is:
SrX₂ + H₂SO₄ → SrSO₄ + 2 HX, where X is the halide.
- From the equation stichiometry, 1.0 mole of strontium halide will result in 1.0 mole of SrSO₄.
- The number of moles of SrSO₄ <em>(n = mass/molar mass) </em>= (0.755 g) / (183.68 g/mole) = 4.11 x 10⁻³ mole.
- The number of moles of SrX are 4.11 x 10⁻³ moles from the stichiometry of the balanced equation.
- n = mass / molar mass, n = 4.11 x 10⁻³ moles and mass = 0.652 g.
- The molar mass of SrX₂ = mass / n = (0.652) / (4.11 x 10⁻³ moles) = 158.62 g/mole.
- The molar mass of SrX₂ (158.62 g/mole) = Atomic mass of Sr (87.62 g/mole) + (2 x Atomic mass of halide X).
- The atomic mass of halide X = (158.62 g/mole) - (87.62 g/mole) / 2 = 71 / 2 g/mole = 35.5 g/mole.
- This is the atomic mass of Cl.
- <em>So, the formula of the original halide is SrCl₂</em>.
Density is mass divided by volume.
49g/14cm^3 = 3.5 g/cm^3

The periodic table is grouped by the properties of each element. They are also arranged in the order of their atomic mass. Different rows of elements are called periods. If elements lie in the same column, they are in the same group. It is helpful to us today because it helps us gain new information on the properties and the world around us. We would not have a true understanding of Chemistry if it were not for the period table.
