1) State the chemical reaction

4M + O2 ---> 2M2O

2) State the molar ratios

4 mol M : 1 mol O2 : 2 mol M2O

3) Calculate the number of moles of M2O produced

4 mol M / 2 mol M2O = 2 mol M / x => x = 2 mol M * 2 mol M2O / 4 mol M

=> x = 1 mol M2O

4) Calculate the molar mass of M2O

molar mass = mass in grams / number of moles = 62.0 g / 1 mol = 62.0 g/mol

5) Calculate the atomic mass of M

molar mass of M2O = 2 * atomic mass of M + atomic mass of O =>

62.0 = 2 * atomic mass of M + 16

=> atomic mass of M = [62.0 - 16] / 2 = 23

6) Compare that atomic mass with the atomic masses of the metals in the periodic table.

You will find that 23 is the atomic mass of sodium.

Answer: sodium

What is the minimum volume of 5.50 M HCl necessary to neutralize completely the hydroxide in 718.0 mL of 0.183 M NaOH
Deffense [45]

The volume of HCl required is 23.89 mL

Calculation of volume:

The reaction:

HCl + NaOH \rightarrow NaCl + H_2O

As HCl and NaOH react in 1 : 1 ratio.

Volume of NaOH= 718 mL

Concentration= 0.183M

Volume of HCl= ?

Concentration= 5.50M

Using the dilution formula:

M_1\times V_1(NaOH)= M_2\times V_2(HCl)

0.183\times 718= 5.50 \times V_2\\V_2=\frac{131.394}{5.50} \\V_2 = 23.89 \,mL

Therefore,

Volume of HCl required will be 23.89 mL.

Identify the Brønsted-Lowry acid, the Brønsted-Lowry base, the conjugate acid, and the conjugate base in each reaction:
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

C5H5N is the base and C5H5NH+ is the conjugate acid

H2O is the acid and OH− is the conjugate base

Explanation:

<u>Hydrogen + is also called a proton</u>

C5H5N is the base because it receives the proton (H+) and C5H5NH+ is its conjugate acid

H2O is the acid  because it gives up the proton and OH− is the conjugate base because it is capable of receiving the proton

Answer:

HNO3 is the acid and NO3- is the conjugate base

H2O is the base and H3O+ is the conjugate acid

Explanation

HNO3 is the acid and NO3− is its conjugate base, capable of receiving a proton

H2O is the base because it receives the proton and H3O+ is a conjugate acid capable of giving up the proton.
