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⁺

A possible mechanism for the gas phase reaction of NO and H2 is as follows: Step 1 2NO N2O2 Step 2 N2O2 + H2 N2O + H2O Step 3 N2
mel-nik [20]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Steps involved for the given reaction will be as follows.

Step 1: 2NO \Leftrightarrow N_{2}O_{2}    (fast)

Rate expression for step 1 is as follows.

               Rate = k [NO]^{2}

Step 2: N_{2}O_{2} + H_{2} \rightarrow N_{2}O + H_{2}O

This step 2 is a slow step. Hence, it is a rate determining step.

Step 3. N_{2}O + H_{2} \rightarrow N_{2} + H_{2}O    (fast)

Here, N_{2}O_{2} is intermediate in nature.

All the steps are bimolecular and it is a second order reaction. Also, there is no catalyst present in this reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement step 1 is the rate determining step, concerning this mechanism is not directly supported by the information provided.

When a variable is determined by a factor outside of the function or model being​ evaluated, it is said to be A. statistically i
inna [77]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. exogenous

Explanation:

Let us try to describe exogenous and endogenous variables an exogenous variable value is influenced only by factors outside a model or system and is forced onto the model, while a change in an exogenous variable is known as an exogenous change. Also an endogenous variable is one whose value is influenced only by the system or model under study.

What mass of sodium hydroxide is needed to neutralise 24.5kg of sulfuric acid <br> H2SO4 + N2 = 2NH3
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

23.92 g

Explanation:

Molar mass of H2SO4 = (2×1)+32+(16×4)= 2+32+48= 82g/mol

H2SO4 + 2NaOH ---> Na2SO4 + 2H2O

I mole of H2SO4 = 2 moles of NaOH

24.5/82 = 24.5/82 × 2

= 0.598 moles of NaOH will neutralize

Mass= mole× molar mass

Molar mass of NaOH= 23+16+1 = 40g/mol

Mass= 0.598 × 40 = 23.92g of NaOH

Write the equilibrium constant expression for the reaction below.
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Kc = [H₂S]² . [CH₄] / [ H₂O]⁴ . [CS₂]

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant indicates the % of the yield reaction and can shows where the reaction is going to be equilibrated.

It works with molar concentrations on the equilibrium and it does not consider the solids compounds

Kc also can be modified by the time of the reaction.

This reaction is:

CS₂ (g) + 4 H₂O(g) ⇌ CH₄ (g) + 2H₂S (g)

Kc = [H₂S]² . [CH₄] / [ H₂O]⁴ . [CS₂]
