If the compound contains 35.06 % cl by mass, what is the identity of the metal?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Setler [38]3 years ago
4 0

Answer is: identity of the metal is gold (Au).

ω(Cl) = 35.06% ÷ 100%.

ω(Cl) = 0.3506; mass percentage of chlorine.

If we take 100 grams of the compound:

m(Cl) = ω(Cl) · m(compound).

ω(Cl) = 0.3506 · 100 g.

ω(Cl) = 35.06 g.

n(Cl) = m(Cl) ÷ M(Cl).

n(Cl) = 35.06 g ÷ 35.45 g/mol.

n(Cl) = 0.99 mol; amount of substance.

In molecule MCl₃: n(M) : n(Cl) = 1 : 3.

n(M) = 0.33 mol; amount of unknown metal.

M(M) = m(M) ÷ n(M).

M(M) = (100 g - 35.06 g) ÷ 0.33 mol.

M(M) = 196.8 g/mol; molar mass of the gold.

How many atoms of oxygen are in 0.100 mol of silicon dioxide?
lys-0071 [83]
1) Silicon dioxide formula: SiO2  ....... 2 is a subscript for the O atom

2) From the formula you have 1 molecula of SiO2 contains 1 atom of SiO2

3) Then, 0.100 mol of SiO2 contains 0.1 mol of Si

4) Multiply by Avogadro's number: 0.100mol *  6.022*10^23 atoms/mol= 6.02*10^22 atoms

Answer: 6.02*10^22 atoms
