Answer:
molar mass M(s) = 65.326 g/mol
Explanation:
- M(s) + H2SO4(aq) → MSO4(aq) + H2(g)
∴ VH2(g) = 231 mL = 0.231 L
∴ P atm = 1.0079 bar
∴ PvH2O(25°C) = 0.03167 bar
Graham´s law:
⇒ PH2(g) = P atm - PvH2O(25°C)
⇒ PH2(g) = 1.0079 bar - 0.03167 bar = 0.97623 bar = 0.9635 atm
∴ nH2(g) = PV/RT
⇒ nH2(g) = ((0.9635 atm)(0.231 L))/((0.082 atmL/Kmol)(298 K))
⇒ nH2(g) = 9.1082 E-3 mol
⇒ n M(s) = ( 9.1082 E-3 mol H2(g) )(mol M(s)/mol H2(g))
⇒ n M(s) = 9.1082 E-3 mol
∴ molar mass M(s) [=] g/mol
⇒ molar mass M(s) = (0.595 g) / (9.1082 E-3 mol)
⇒ molar mass M(s) = 65.326 g/mol
To determine how many protons are present, simply know or use the following equation
X = number of protons
Y = number of electrons
Z = formal charge of the element
X - Y = Z = 0 for a neutral atom
X - Y = 2
Then to solve for x
X = Y + 2.
This means that we would need an additional 2 more protons than electrons.
Hey, what's the question asking you to solve for?
