Answer:

C. chromium is a metal that is less reactive than sodium.

Explanation:

Hello.

Given the options:

A. chromium is a nonmetal and therefore a good conductor of heat and electricity .

B. chromium is a metal that is more reactive than potassium .

C. chromium is a metal that is less reactive than sodium .

D. chromium is a noble gas that is not reactive.

In this case, since chromium is in period 4 group VIB we infer it is a transition metal which slightly reacts with acids and poorly reacts with oxygen and other oxidizing substances. Thus, in comparison with both sodium and potassium which are highly reactive even with water as they get on fire, we can say that it is less reactive than both potassium and sodium, therefore, answer is: C. chromium is a metal that is less reactive than sodium.

Best regards.

A 2.89 g sample of a metal chloride, MCl2, is dissolved in water and treated with excess aqueous silver nitrate. The silver chlo

Answer:

58.0 g/mol

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

MCl₂ + 2AgNO₃ → 2AgCl + M(NO₃)₂

First we calculate how many moles of silver chloride were produced, using its molar mass:

6.41 g AgCl ÷ 143.32 g/mol = 0.0447 mol AgCl

Then we convert AgCl moles into MCl₂ moles, using the stoichiometric ratio:

0.0447 mol AgCl * $\frac{1molMCl_2}{2molAgCl}$ = 0.0224 mol MCl₂

Now we calculate the molar mass of MCl₂, using the original mass of the sample:

2.86 g / 0.0224 mol = 127.68 g/mol

We can write the molar mass of MCl₂ as:

Molar Mass MCl₂ = Molar Mass of M + (Molar Mass of Cl)*2

127.68 g/mol = Molar Mass of M + (35.45 g/mol)*2

Finally we calculate the molar mass of M:

Molar Mass of M = 57 g/mol

The closest option is 58.0 g/mol.
