<u>Answer:</u> The metal having molar mass equal to 26.95 g/mol is Aluminium

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}     .....(1)

Molarity of NaOH solution = 0.5000 M

Volume of solution = 0.03340 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.5000M=\frac{\text{Moles of NaOH}}{0.03340L}\\\\\text{Moles of NaOH}=(0.5000mol/L\times 0.03340L)=0.01670mol

  • The chemical equation for the reaction of NaOH and sulfuric acid follows:

2NaOH+H_2SO_4\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+H_2O

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of sulfuric acid

So, 0.01670 moles of NaOH will react with = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.01670=0.00835mol of sulfuric acid

Excess moles of sulfuric acid = 0.00835 moles

  • Calculating the moles of sulfuric acid by using equation 1, we get:

Molarity of sulfuric acid solution = 0.5000 M

Volume of solution = 127.9 mL = 0.1279 L    (Conversion factor:  1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.5000M=\frac{\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4}{0.1279L}\\\\\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4=(0.5000mol/L\times 0.1279L)=0.06395mol

Number of moles of sulfuric acid reacted = 0.06395 - 0.00835 = 0.0556 moles

  • The chemical equation for the reaction of metal (forming M^{3+} ion) and sulfuric acid follows:

2X+3H_2SO_4\rightarrow X_2(SO_4)_3+3H_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of sulfuric acid reacts with 2 moles of metal

So, 0.0556 moles of sulfuric acid will react with = \frac{2}{3}\times 0.0556=0.0371mol of metal

  • To calculate the molar mass of metal for given number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Mass of metal = 1.00 g

Moles of metal = 0.0371 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.0371mol=\frac{1.00g}{\text{Molar mass of metal}}\\\\\text{Molar mass of metal}=\frac{1.00g}{0.0371mol}=26.95g/mol

Hence, the metal having molar mass equal to 26.95 g/mol is Aluminium

List the ions in solution in the electrolysis of conc.sodium chloride<br>​
Licemer1 [7]
Chloride ions Cl –(aq) (from the dissolved sodium chloride) are discharged at the positive electrode as chlorine gas, Cl 2(g) sodium ions Na +(aq) (from the dissolved sodium chloride) and hydroxide ions OH –(aq) (from the water) stay behind - they form sodium hydroxide solution, NaOH(aq)

(a) What structural feature is associated with each type of hydrocarbon: alkane, cycloalkane, alkene, and alkyne?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Alkanes are hydrocarbons with straight, saturated branch chains. Ring-shaped hydrocarbons are cycloalkanes. Alkenes are branch chains that are straight and have at least one double bond. Alkynes are branch chains that are straight and have at least one triple bond.

<h3>What is Hydrocarbon ?</h3>

A hydrocarbon is an organic molecule in organic chemistry that is made completely of hydrogen and carbon. Examples of group 14 hydrides include hydrocarbons. The majority of hydrocarbons are colorless and hydrophobic, and their scents are either insignificant or best characterized by those of gasoline and lighter fluid.

Other side effects from certain hydrocarbons include coma, seizures, abnormal cardiac rhythms, and liver or kidney damage. Some solvents used in paints, dry cleaning, and household cleaning solutions are examples of items that contain hazardous hydrocarbons.

Would the molecules in a gas have more or less movement than the molecules in a solid ? PLEASE HELP WILL MARK BRAINLY
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Molecules in a gas will have more movement than molecules in a solid. This is because the molecules in solid matter are packed very tightly together to maintain its shape, whereas with gases they are spaced much further apart and fairly free to move. Hope this helps!
