<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

How many moles are present in 54.8 mL of mercury if the density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL?​
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

3.72 mol Hg

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Using Dimensional Analysis
  • Density = Mass over Volume

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

D = 13.6 g/mL

54.8 mL Hg

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Molar Mass of Hg - 200.59 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Find</u>

13.6 g/mL = x g / 54.8 mL

x = 745.28 g Hg

<u>Step 4: Convert</u>

<u />745.28 \ g \ Hg(\frac{1 \ mol \ Hg}{200.59 \ g \ Hg} ) = 3.71544 mol Hg

<u>Step 5: Check</u>

<em>We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.</em>

3.71544 mol Hg ≈ 3.72 mol Hg

A scientist has 0.12 miles of a gas at a pressure of 4.06 kPa and a volume of 14 liters in an enclosed container. What is the te
natka813 [3]

Answer:

56972.17K

Explanation:

P = 4.06kPa = 4.06×10³Pa

V = 14L

n = 0.12 moles

R = 8.314J/Mol.K

T = ?

We need ideal gas equation to solve this question

From ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

P = pressure of the ideal gas

V = volume the gas occupies

n = number of moles

R = ideal gas constant

T = temperature of the gas

PV = nRT

T = PV / nR

T = (4.06×10³ × 14) / (0.12 × 8.314)

T = 56840 / 0.99768

T = 56972.17K

Note : we have a large number for temperature because we converted the value of pressure from kPa to Pa
