Lets name the unknown metal as M. Cation would be M³⁺.
the molecular formula of the compound is M₂(SO₄)₃
the mass of one mole - (molar mass of M x2 + 3 x molar mass of SO₄²⁻)
                                   = 2M + 96 x 3
                                   = 2M + 288
In 1 mol if there's 72.07% of sulphate , 
then 72.07 % corresponds to 288 g
               1 % is then      - 288/72.07 
       100 %  of the compound - 288/72.07 x 100 
 molar mass of the compound - 399.6 g/mol
mass of 2M - 399.6 - 288 = 111.6 g
molar mass of M - 111.6 /2 = 55.8 g/mol
the element with molar mass of 55.8 is Fe.
Unknown metal is iron(III) , Fe³⁺

Sugar is a covalently linked compound with many atoms. Water is able to dissolve sugar. What does this suggest about the atoms o
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

When you put sugar inside of a cup with water, the sugar is still visible because it's molecules have just gotten in touch with water molecules. The sugar molecules are still attracted to each other but as you stir it, it seems to disappear but not completely. When the water is stirred sugar mix with water and water molecules place themselves between the sugar ones.

Conclusion: It suggests that the sugar molecules are more attracted to water molecules which is why they easily separate from each other.

dimulka [17.4K]

  • The substance that made up of a particular mixture can be regarded as Solute and solvent

  • A  mixture can be regarded as material which is made up of  more than one  different Chemical substance or substances , whereby they  are not chemically combined.

  • Substance could be any matter such as <em>salt, rice, and or compounds</em>

  • A mixture can be regarded as physical combination involving two or more substances whereby each entities identities are retained, then mixed in the form such as ;
  1. <em>solutions</em>
  2. <em> suspensions </em>
  3. <em> colloids</em>.

  • A mixture could be  in this form <em>(Solute + solvent = solution)</em>

Therefore, the substance that made up of a particular mixture can be regarded as <em>Solute and solvent</em>

Coal and petroleum are alike in which fundamental way?
Dovator [93]
Coal a is a chemical compound. It is pure carbon. You cannot separate carbon into other molecules without changing its chemical consitution.

Petroleum is a mixture of many chemical compounds, hydrocarbons, plus other elements. Petroleum components contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and some metal traces. The different compounds that consitute the petroleum can be separated by physical media like distillation.

mezya [45]

Answer:

Methane is present in solid, liquid and gaseous form.

Explanation:

Methane hydrate is present in solid state when the hydrogen-bonded water and methane gas come into contact at high pressures and low temperatures in the deep oceans while on the other hand, methane which is present inside the earth surface in gaseous form due to non-availability of water that can combine with methane. Methane is also found in liquid form when it is cool with high pressure and low temperature.
