Answer:

26.98g/mol

Explanation:

The molar mass of M2O3 = 2M + 3O = 2M +(3x16) = 2M + 48

From the question, we were told that the mass percentage of M is 52.92%. This can be expressed below:

Mass of M/MM of oxide = 52.92%

2M / 2M + 48 = 52.92/ 100

Cross multiply to express in linear form

2M x 100 = 52.92(2M + 48)

200M = 105.84M + 2540.16

Collect like terms

200M — 105.84M = 2540.16

94.16M = 2540.16

Divide both side by 94.16, we have:

M = 2540.16 / 94.16

M = 26.98

The atomic weight of M is 26.98g/mol

if 3.26 g of FeNO33 is dissolved in enough water to make exactly what is the molar concentration of nitrate ion g
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

0.404M

Explanation:

...<em>To make exactly 100.0mL of solution...</em>

Molar concentration is defined as the amount of moles of a solute (In this case, nitrate ion, NO₃⁻) in 1 L of solution.

To solve this question we need to convert the mass of Fe(NO₃)₃ to moles. As 1 mole of Fe(NO₃)₃ contains 3 moles of nitrate ion we can find moles of nitrate ion in 100.0mL of solution, and we can solve the amount of moles per liter:

<em>Moles Fe(NO₃)₃ -Molar mass: 241.86g/mol-:</em>

3.26g * (1mol / 241.86g) =

0.01348 moles Fe(NO₃)₃ * (3 moles of NO₃⁻ / 1mole Fe(NO₃)₃) =

<em>0.0404 moles of NO₃⁻</em>

In 100mL = 0.1L, the molar concentration is:

0.0404 moles of NO₃⁻ / 0.100L =
