Answer:

The metal is calcium (to form CaCl2)

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of sample of an alkaline earth metal chloride = 1.26 grams

Silvernitrate (AgNO3) = in excess

All of the chloride is recovered as 3.26 g of silver chloride.

Step 2: The equation

XCl2 + 2AgNO3 → X(NO3)2+ 2 AgCl

Step 3: Calculate moles AgCl

Moles AgCl = mass AgCl / molar mass AgCl

Moles AgCl = 3.26 grams / 143.32 g/mol

Moles AgCl = 0.0227 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles XCl2

For 1 mol XCl2 we'll have 2 moles AgCl

For 2*0.0227 moles we need 0.0227/2 = 0.01135 moles

Step 5: Calculate molar mass XCl2

Molar mass XCl2 = mass / moles XCl2

Molar mass XCl2 = 1.26 grams / 0.01135 moles

Molar mass XCl2 = 111 g/mol

Step 6: Calculate of metal X

Molar mass X = molar mass XCl2 - molar mass Cl2

Molar mass X = 111 - 70.9 = 40.1 g/mol

The metal is calcium (to form CaCl2)

What is the molarity of a 3.0-liter solution that contains 0.45 moles of solute
sergeinik [125]
Moles = n/v where n is the moles of solute and v being the liters of solution.
We can put in the information provided to find the molarity.

Moles = .45/3.0 = .15
So we now know that the molarity of that solution is .15!
 I hope I helped you :). Make sure to memorize that formula because it's not that hard as long as you know what to plug in.

g A laboratory analysis of an unknown compound found the following composition: C 75.68% ; H 8.80% ; O 15.52%. What is the empir
sammy [17]

Answer:

THE EMPIRICAL FORMULA FOR THE UNKNOWN COMPOUND IS C7H9O

Explanation:

The empirical formula for the unknown compound can be obtained by following the processes below:

1 . Write out the percentage composition of the individual elements in the compound

C = 75.68 %

H = 8.80 %

O = 15.52 %

2. Divide the percentage composition by the atomic masses of the elements

C = 75 .68 / 12 = 6.3066

H = 8.80 / 1 = 8.8000

O = 15.52 / 16 = 0.9700

3. Divide the individual results by the lowest values

C = 6.3066 / 0.9700 = 6.5016

H = 8.8000 / 0.9700 = 9.0722

O = 0.9700 / 0.9700 = 1

4. Round up the values to the whole number

C = 7

H = 9

O = 1

5 Write out the empirical formula for the compound

C7H90

In conclusion, the empirical formula for the unknown compound is therefore C7H9O
