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⁺

How many moles of NaOH are present in 27.5 mL of 0.270 M NaOH?
Naddik [55]
The solution for the question above is:

C = 0.270 
<span>V = 0.0275L </span>
<span>n = ? </span>

<span>Use the molar formula which is: C = n/V </span>
<span>Re-arrange it to: n = CV </span>
<span>n = (0.270)*(0.0275) </span>
<span>n = 0.007425 mols </span>
<span>(more precise) n = 7.425 x 10^-3 mols
</span>
7.425 x 10^-3 mols is the answer.

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

15.35 g of (NH₄)₃PO₄

Explanation:

First we need to look at the chemical reaction:

3 NH₃ + H₃PO₄ → (NH₄)₃PO₄

Now we calculate the number of moles of ammonia (NH₃):

number of moles = mass / molecular wight

number of moles = 5.24 / 17 = 0.308 moles of NH₃

Now from the chemical reaction we devise the following reasoning:

if         3 moles of NH₃ are produce 1 mole of (NH₄)₃PO₄

then   0.308 moles of NH₃ are produce X moles of (NH₄)₃PO₄

X = (0.308 × 1) / 3 = 0.103 moles of (NH₄)₃PO₄

mass = number of moles × molecular wight

mass = 0.103 × 149 = 15.35 g of (NH₄)₃PO₄
