A metal (M) forms an oxide with the formula MO. If the oxide contains 7.17 % O by mass, what is the identity of the metal?
1 answer:
The metal is lead, Pb .
One unit of the oxide contains one atom of O (16.00 u).
∴ Mass of oxide = 16.00 u O × (100 u MO/7.17 u O) = 223.15 u MO
Mass of M = mass of MO – mass of O = 223.15 u -16.00 u = 207.2 u
The only element with an atomic mass of 207.2 u is lead (Pb) and the formula of the oxide is PbO.

You can find it in rainforest because they like damp places.
We assume that the volume of the molecules themselves in a gas sample is negligible compared to the bulk volume of the gas sample: this helps us to explain why gases are so compressible.
