Answer:

MM = 58.41 g

Explanation:

First, the data we have is according to the hydrogen which is exerting pressure. To solve this, we need to use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT (1)

the molar mass of any compound is calculated like this:

MM = m/n (2)

So, from (1) we solve for the moles (n) and then, this value is replace in (2).

However, before we do all that, we need to gather all the correct data.

All the species in the reaction are solid or aqueous state, with the exception of hydrogen, which is gaseous. Hydrogen is collected over water, therefore, is exerting some pressure too. The problem is not indicating if the acid or any other species is exerting pressure, so we will assume that only hydrogen and water are exerting pressure.

The total pressure exerted by the system would be:

P = Pw + PH2 (3)

We already know the total pressure which is 756 torr.

This experiment is taking place at 25 °C (298.15 K), and at this temperature, we have a reported value for water pressure which is 23.8 Torr.

Let's solve for PH2:

PH2 = P - Pw

PH2 = 756 - 23 = 733 Torr

Now, with this value, and the volume and temperature, we can calculate the moles of H2:

n = PV/RT

But first, let's convert the pressure to atm:

PH2 = 733 Torr / 760 torr * 1 atm = 0.9644 atm

now, solving for n:

n = 0.9644 * (0.255) / 0.082 * 298.15

n = 0.0101 moles

Now that we have the moles, we know that the metal and the hydrogen has a mole ratio of 1:1 according to the reaction, so, this means that:

moles M = moles H2 = 0.0101 moles

We have the moles of the metal and the mass, we can calculate the molar mass using expression (2):

MM = 0.590/0.0101

MM = 58.41 g/mol

This is the molar mass of the metal

the reaction a(g) ⇌ b(g) has an equilibrium constant that is less than one. what can you conclude about ∆g° for the reaction?
-Dominant- [34]

For this reaction: ΔG⁰>0.

Balanced chemical reaction A(g) ⇌ (g)

ΔG° indicates that all reactants and products are in their standard states.

ΔG° = R·T·lnK.

ΔG° is Gibbs free energy

T is the temperature on the Kelvin scale

R is the ideal gas constant

The equilibrium constant (K) is the ratio of the partial pressures or the concentrations of products to reactants.

Gibbs free energy (G) determines if reaction will proceed spontaneously, nonspontaneously or in equilibrium processes.

If K < 1, than ΔG° > 0.

Reactants (in this example A) are favored over products (in this example B) at equilibrium.

Logging trees is often controversial. Why would some people support logging and some people not support logging?
Harlamova29_29 [7]
It seems more and more there are fewer conservation organizations who speak for the forest, and more that speak for the timber industry. Witness several recent commentaries in Oregon papers that are by no means unique. I’ve seen similar themes from other conservation groups across the West in recent years.

Many conservation groups have uncritically adopted views that support more logging of our public lands based upon increasingly disputed ideas about forest health and fire ecology, as well as the age-old bias against natural processes like wildfire and beetles.

For instance, an article in the Portland Oregonian quotes Oregon Wild’s executive director Sean Stevens bemoaning the closure of a timber mill in John Day Oregon. Stevens said: “Loss of the 29-year-old Malheur Lumber Co. mill would be ‘a sad turn of events’” Surprisingly, Oregon Wild is readily supporting federal subsidies to promote more logging on the Malheur National Forest to sustain the mill.

AleksAgata [21]
Although the moon's distance from earth varies each month because of its eccentric orbit, the moon's mean distance from Earth is nonetheless increasing at the rate of about 3.8 centimeters (1.5 inches) per year
