Answer:

So X has an atomic mass of 55.05 u, and is probably Mn

Explanation:

<u>Step1: </u>Balance the equation

XI2 +Cl2 →  XCl2 + I2

<u>Step2:</u> find the molar mass of the compounds

<em><u>Compounds : </u></em>

X  ⇒ Molar mass = M

XI2 ⇒ Molar mass = M + 2*126.9 u

XCl2 ⇒Molar mass = M + 2*35.45u

⇒For 1 mole XI2 we have 1 mole Cl2 reacting , as well as 1 mole XCl2 and 1 mole I2 produced.

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculating the atomic mass

(1.383g * XI2) / (M + 2*126.90 u)  = (0.564g * XCl2) / ( M + 2 * 35.45u)

1.383 (M + 2 *35.45 u )= 0.564 (M  + 2*126.90)

1.383M + 98.0547 = 0.564 M + 143.1432

1.383 M - 0.564 M =143.1432 - 98.0547

0.819 M = 45.0885

M = 55.05 u

So X has an atomic mass of 55.05 u ⇒ if we look at the periodic table we can find that the closest element is Manganese (Mn)

MnI2 + Cl2 → MnCl2 + I2

What do chemists think is the best measurement of concentration for describing the concentration of a solid solute dissolved in
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Molarity.

Explanation:

  • The molarity (M) of a solution is defined as the no. of moles of solute that dissolved in 1.0 liter of the solution.

M = (mass / molar mass) of the solute (1000 / volume of the solution).

<em>So, the best measurement of concentration for describing the concentration of a solid solute dissolved in one liter of a liquid solution is Molarity.</em>

Poor precision in scientific measurement may arise from
Arturiano [62]
<span>Based on the experience of the responder, to correctly calculate measurements in real-world. Firstly is to avoid errors as much as possible. Errors are what makes your measurement invalid and unreliable. There are two types of error which is called the systematic error and the random error. Each error has different sources. Words that were mentioned –invalid and unreliable are very important key aspects to determine that your measure is truly accurate and consistent. Some would recommend using the mean method, doing three trials in measuring and getting their mean, in response to this problem.</span>
