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 of these best describes heat transfer through conduction?
kozerog [31]

I'd go for D here. It also fits in with the idea of thermal expansion - as something is heated up, molecules vibrate and maybe collide. they vibrate with bigger amplitudes, so taking up more space, so expanding. maybe

5 Questions to answer please
ryzh [129]
1.Type of bonding in which electrons are completely transferred is called ionic bond.
2. Isotopes have same atomic number but different atomic mass number.
Atomic number = number of protons + number of neutrons
Therefore, A is correct. 
3. Nucleus is composed of neutrons and protons.
4. Chemical reactions follows the law of conservation of mass. Therefore mass of reactant = mass of product = 4 grams.
5. Again, mass of table salt formed should be equal to mass of (Na+Cl₂) = 4 grams.

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

We have that there were produced 0.120 moles of CO_{2}

n=0.120mol

<h2>Why?</h2>

We are asked to calculate the number of moles of the given gas, also, we  are given the volume, the temperature and the pressure of the gas, we can calculate the approximate volume using The Ideal Gas Law.

The Ideal Gas Law is based on Boyle's Law, Gay-Lussac's Law, Charles's Law, and Avogadro's Law, and it's described by the following equation:

PV=nRT

Where,

P is the pressure of the gas.

V is the volume of the gas.

n is the number of moles of the gas.

T is the absolute temperature of the gas (Kelvin).

R is the ideal gas constant (to work with pressure in mmHg), which is equal to:

R=62.363\frac{mmHg.L}{mol.K}

We must remember that the The Ideal Gas Law equation works with absolute temperatures (K), so, if we are given relative temperatures such as Celsius degrees or Fahrenheit degrees, we need to convert it to Kelvin before we proceed to work with the equation.

We can convert from Celsius degrees to Kelvin using the following formula:

Temperature(K)=Temperature(C\°) + 273K

So, we are given the following information:

Pressure=760mmHg\\Volume=2.965L\\Temperature=25.5C\°=25.5+273K=298.5K

Now, isolating the number of moles, and substituting the given information, we have:

PV=nRT

n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{PV}{RT}

n=\frac{760mmHg*2.965L}{62.363\frac{mmHg.L}{mol.K}*298.5K}

n=\frac{760mmHg*2.965L}{62.363\frac{mmHg.L}{mol.K}*298.5K}\\\\n=\frac{2242mmHg.L}{18615.355\frac{mmHg.L}{mol.}}\\\\n=0.120mole

Hence, we have that there were produced 0.120 moles of CO_{2}

n=0.120mol

Have a nice day!

Write the condensed ground-state electron configurations of these transition metal ions, and state which are paramagnetic:
serg [7]

The ground-state electron configurations of Cd^{2+} transition metal ions are diamagnetic [Kr] 4d^{10}. The ion is diamagnetic because there all electrons are paired.

<h3>What is Diamagnetic?</h3>
  • A magnetic field repels diamagnetic materials because it induces an opposing magnetic field in them when it is applied, which produces a repelling force.
  • In contrast, a magnetic field draws paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials together.
  • All materials experience the quantum mechanical phenomenon known as diamagnetism, which is the only source of magnetism in a material.
  • The magnetic dipoles within paramagnetic and ferromagnetic materials exert an attracting force that outweighs the modest diamagnetic force.
  • Diamagnetic materials have a magnetic permeability that is less than vacuum, or 0.
  • Although superconductors behave as strong diamagnets, diamagnetism is often a modest effect that can only be observed by sophisticated laboratory equipment.
