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⁺

Which measurement density or conductance do you believe gives a more accurate method to determine the salt concentration of a so
lakkis [162]
<span>Conductance gives a more accurate method to determine the salt concentration of a solution.Conductivity would be used with conductors such as metals that include copper and silver.Conductivity is a measure of water's capability to pass electrical flow. This ability is directly related to the concentration of ions in the water. These conductive ions come from dissolved salts and inorganic materials such as alkalis, chlorides, sulfides and carbonate compounds</span>

How would a fast-flowing river be most likely to move sand-sized particles of sediment?
Nitella [24]
A fast-flowing river would most likely be to move the skaters glide around the rink b<span>y lifting it up and carrying it downstream. In a fast-flowing river, the pressure is strong, which makes it easier for sand-sized particles of sediments to be carried or transferred. Hope this answer helps.</span>

What mass of copper is consumed in the reaction with hydrochloric acid if 10.0 g of gas is collected?
brilliants [131]

Answer:

317 g

Explanation:

Cu + 2HCl --> CuCl2 +H2

1      :     2           1 : 1

1 mole of Cu  = 63.5 g

1 mole of  H2 = 2g

1 mole  Cu produces = 1 mole of H2

63.5 g of Cu produces = 2 g of H2

So

10 g of H2 will be produced from =  (63.5/2)*10 = 317 g of Copper
