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⁺

Calcium hydroxide has the formula Ca(OH)2.
cricket20 [7]
Think of it this way: it is a distribution problem in which you are multiplying the 2 on the outside with each element in the parentheses. Oxygen does not have a number in front of it, so put an imaginary one in front of it to help you. Do the same with Hydrogen since it doesn't have a number in front of it either. Now you know that hydrogen has one ion and oxygen has one... but you must now multiply each of the elements' ions by two. You should now know that Oxygen has 2 ions in Calcium Hydroxide and that there are also 2 ions of Hydrogen in Calcium Hydroxide. Does this make sense?

What is the molarity of a HCl solution that
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

M = 1.04 M

Explanation:

Given data

Molarity of solution = ?

Mass of HCl = 6.27 g

Volume of solution = 163 mL (163 mL× 1L /1000 mL = 0.163 L)

Solution:

Molarity is used to describe the concentration of solution. It tells how many moles are dissolve in per litter of solution.

Formula:

Molarity = number of moles of solute / L of solution

Number of moles of HCl:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 6.27 g / 36.5 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.17 mol

Molarity:

M = 0.17 mol/ 0.163 L

M = 1.04 M

PV = nRT. If P = 1 atm, V = 5.0 liter, R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K, and T = 293 K; what is the value of n?
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

n = 0.207 mole

Explanation:

We have,

P = 1 atm

V = 5 liter

R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

T = 293 K

We need to find the value of n. The relation is as follows :

PV = nRT

Solving for n,

n=\dfrac{PV}{RT}\\\\n=\dfrac{1\times 5}{0.0821 \times 293}\\\\n=0.207\ \text{mol}

So, the value of n is 0.207 mol.

Which process transfers heat from inside earth to its surface
Over [174]
Answer is: thermal conduction.
<span>Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat through physical contact. Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat by microscopic collisions of particles. Heat spontaneously flows from a hotter to a colder body.
</span><span>The thermal energy of that core is transferred to the surface of the Earth and lower levels of the oceans by conduction. Water in lakes and oceans transfers heat to the surface by convection.</span>

The ksp of manganese(ii) carbonate, mnco3, is 2.42 × 10-11. calculate the solubility of this compound in g/l.
Vikki [24]

Answer :  The solubility of this compound in g/L is 565.414\times 10^{-6}g/L.

Solution : Given,

K_{sp}=2.42\times 10^{-11}

Molar mass of MnCO_3 = 114.945g/mole

The balanced equilibrium reaction is,

                      MnCO_3\rightleftharpoons Mn^{2+}+CO^{2-}_3

At equilibrium                         s       s

The expression for solubility constant is,

K_{sp}=[Mn^{2+}][CO^{2-}_3]

Now put the given values in this expression, we get

2.42\times 10^{-11}=(s)(s)\\2.42\times 10^{-11}=s^2\\s=0.4919\times 10^{-5}=4.919\times 10^{-6}moles/L

The value of 's' is the molar concentration of manganese ion and carbonate ion.

Now we have to calculate the solubility in terms of g/L multiplying by the Molar mass of the given compound.

s=4.919\times 10^{-6}moles/L\times 114.945g/mole=565.414\times 10^{-6}g/L

Therefore, the solubility of this compound in g/L is 565.414\times 10^{-6}g/L.
