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.

ziro4ka [17]

Explanation:

From the knowledge of law of multiple proportions,

mass ratio of S to O in SO:

mass of S : mass of O

= 32 : 16

= 32/16

= 2/1

mass ratio of S to O in SO2:

= mass of S : 2 × mass of O

= 32 : 2 × 16

= 32/32

= 1/1

ratio of mass ratio of S to O in SO to mass ratio of S to O in SO2:

= 2/1 ÷ 1/1

= 2

Thus, the S to O mass ratio in SO is twice the S to O mass ratio in SO2.

Answer:

80.27%

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced equation.

2 Fe³⁺(aq) + Sn²⁺(aq) ⇒ 2Fe²⁺(aq) + Sn⁴⁺(aq)

First, we have to calculate the moles of Sn²⁺ that react.

$\frac{0.1015molSn^{2+} }{1L} .13.28 \times 10^{-3} L=1.348\times 10^{-3}molSn^{2+}$

We also know the following relations:

According to the balanced equation, 1 mole of Sn²⁺ reacts with 2 moles of Fe³⁺.
1 mole of Fe³⁺ is oxidized from 1 mole of Fe.
The molar mass of Fe is 55.84 g/mol.

Then, for 1.348 × 10⁻3 moles of Sn²⁺:

$1.348\times 10^{-3}molSn^{2+}.\frac{2molFe^{3+} }{1molSn^{2+} } .\frac{1molFe}{1molFe^{3+} } .\frac{55.84gFe}{1molFe} =0.1505gFe$

If there are 0.1505 g of Fe in a 0.1875 g sample, the mass percentage of Fe is:

$\frac{0.1505g}{0.1875g} \times 100 \% = 80.27\%$
