<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

What is carboxylic acid?​
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Carboxylic acid

A carboxylic acid is an organic acid that contains a carboxyl group attached to an R-group. The general formula of a carboxylic acid is R−COOH or R−CO₂H, with R referring to the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, or other group. Carboxylic acids occur widely. Important examples include the amino acids and fatty acids.

A certain hydrocarbon has a molecular formula of C9H16. Which of the following is not a structural possibility for this hydrocar
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is given that molecular formula is C_{9}H_{16}. Now, we will calculate the degree of unsaturation as follows.

Degree of unsaturation = C_{n} - \frac{\text{monovalent}}{2} + \frac{\text{trivalent}}{2} + 1

                                  = 9 - \frac{16}{2} + 1

                                  = 9 - 8 + 1

                                  = 2

As the degree of unsaturation comes out to be 2. It means that this compound will contain one ring and one double bond.

Yes, this compound could be an alkyne as for alkyne D.B.E = 2.

But this compound cannot be a cycloalkane because for a cycloalkane D.B.E = 1 which is due to the ring only.

Thus, we can conclude that it is a cycloalkane is not a structural possibility for this hydrocarbon.
