A 4.36 g sample of an unknown alkali metal hydroxide is dissolved in 100.0 ml of water. an acid-base indicator is added and the

resulting solution is titrated with 2.50 m hcl (aq) solution. the indicator changes color signaling that the equivalent point has been reached after 17.0 ml of the hydrochloric acid solution has been added. (a) what is the molar mass of the metal hydroxide? (b) what is the identity of the metal cation?

Answer:

(a) 102.6g/mol

(b) Rubidium

Explanation:

Hello,

This titration is carried out by assuming that the volume of base doesn't have a significant change when the mass is added, thus, we state the following data a apply the down below formula to compute the molarity of the base solution:

V_{base}=0.1L; M_{acid}=2.5M, V_{acid}=0.017L\\V_{base}M_{base}=V_{acid}M_{acid}

Solving for the molarity of base we've got:

M_{base}=\frac{M_{acid}*V_{acid}}{V_{base}}=\frac{2.50M*0.017L}{0.1L} =0.425M=0.425mol/L

Now, we can compute the moles of the base as:

n_{base}=0.425mol/L*0.1L=0.0425mol

(a) Now, one divides the provided mass over the previously computed moles to get the molecular mass of the unknown base:

\frac{4.36g}{0.0425mol} =102.6g/mol

(b) Subtracting the atomic mass of oxygen and hydrogen, the metal's atomic mass turns out into:

102.6g/mol-16g/mol-1g/mol=85.6g/mol

So, that atomic mass dovetails to the Rubidium's atomic mass.

Best regards.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h3>From the equation it is evident that 2 moles of Sodium metal produces 1 mole of hydrogen gas.</h3><h3>At STP 1mole of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 litres.</h3><h3>Therefore, 7.80 gives---(7.80x1)/22.4 moles = 0.3482 moles</h3><h3>Since the mole ratio of Sodium to hydrogen is 2:1, then the number of moles of sodium that reacted is given by the following expression.</h3><h3>(0.3482 * 2) / 1 moles which gives 0.6964 moles.</h3><h3>The atomic mass of sodium is 23 thus the mass of sodium that reacted is given by:</h3><h3>mass=no. of Monogram</h3><h3>0.6964 * 23 = 16.02 grams.</h3><h2>Explanation:</h2><h3>please mark me brainlist</h3>

Suppose now that you wanted to determine the density of a small crystal to confirm that it is phosphorus. From the literature, y
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Volume of CHCl_3   = 15.31 mL

Volume of CHBr_3 = 4.69 mL

Explanation:

Given that:

the density of the mixture = 1.82 g/mL

From the density of the pure samples

The density of CHCl_3 = 1.492 g/mL

The density of CHBr_3 = 2.890 g/mL

The total volume of the liquid mixture = 20.0 mL

Suppose the volume of  CHCl_3 = P ml

and the volume of CHBr_3 = Q ml

the sum of their volumes should be equal to the total volume of the mixture

P \ ml + Q \ ml = 20 ml  ----- (1)

However, we know that Density = mass/volume

∴ mass = density × volume

The equation can now be expressed as:

\mathtt{(Density \ of  \ CHCl_3 \times Vol. \ of  \ CHCl_3 ) + (Density  \  of \  CHBr_3  \times \ volume \ of \ CHBr_3)} = \mathtt{ (Density  \ of \ mixture \times volume \ of \ the \ mixture)}

1.492 g/mL × P mL + 2.890 g/mL × Q mL = 1.82 g/mL × 20 mL  ---- (2)

From equation (1) ;

let Q = 20 - P

The replace the value of P into equation (2)

1.492 g/mL × P mL + 2.890g/mL × (20 - P) mL = 1.82 g/mL × 20 mL

1.492 P g + 57.8g - 2.890 P g =  36.4g

1.492 P g - 2.890 P g = 36.4g - 57.8g

-1.398 P g = -21.4g

P = -21.4g/-1.398g

P = 15.31 mL

Q = 20 - P

Q = (20 - 15.31) mL

Q = 4.69 mL

∴

Volume of CHCl_3   = 15.31 mL

Volume of CHBr_3 = 4.69 mL
