Atomic mass of M is \boxed{151.6\text{ g}} .

Further Explanation:

Given reaction occurs as follows:

\text{MCl}_2(aq)+2\text{AgNO}_3(aq)\rightarrow\text{2AgCl}(s)+\text{M}\left(\text{NO}_3}\right)_2(aq)

The formula to calculate moles of AgCl is as follows:

\text{Moles of AgCl}=\dfrac{\text{Mass of AgCl}}{\text{Molar mass of AgCl}}                ...... (1)

Substitute 1.286\text{ g} for mass of AgCl and 143.32\text{ g/mol} for molar mass of AgCl in equation (1).

\begin{aligned}\text{Moles of AgCl}=&\dfrac{\text{1.286 g}}{\text{143.32 g/mol}}\\=&0.00897\text{ mol}\end{aligned}

According to the balanced chemical reaction, one mole of \text{MCl}_2 reacts with two moles of \text{AgNO}_3 to form two moles of AgCl and one mole of \text{M}\left(\text{NO}_3\right)_2, So stoichiometric ratio between \text{MCl}_2  and AgCl is 1:2.

Since two moles of AgCl are produced by one mole of \text{MCl}_2 , number of moles of \text{MCl}_2 that can produce 0.00897 moles of AgCl can be calculated as follows:

\begin{aligned}\text{Moles of MCl}_2=&\left(\dfrac{\text{1 mol of MCl}_2}{\text{2 mol of AgCl}}\right)\left(0.00897\text{mol AgCl}\right)\\=&0.00449\text{ mol}\end{aligned}

The formula to calculate number of moles of \text{MCl}_2 is as follows:

\text{Moles of MCl}_2=\dfrac{\text{Mass of MCl}_2}{\text{Molar mass of MCl}_2}                              ...... (2)

Rearrange equation (2) to calculate molar mass of \text{MCl}_2 .{\text{Molar mass of MCl}_2}=\dfrac{\text{Mass of MCl}_2}{\text{Moles of MCl}_2}                                ...... (3)

Substitute 0.999 g for mass of \text{MCl}_2 and 0.00449 mol for moles of \text{MCl}_2  in equation (3).

\begin{aligned}{\text{Molar mass of MCl}_2}=&\dfrac{\text{0.999 g}}{\text{0.00449 mol}}\\=&222.5\text{ g/mol}\end{aligned}

The formula to calculate molar mass of \text{MCl}_2  is as follows:

\text{Molar mass of MCl}_2=\left[1\left(\text{Atomic mass of M}\right)+\\\\2\left(\text{Atomic mass of Cl}\right)\right]}  ....... (4)

Rearrange equation (4) to calculate atomic mass of M.

\text{Atomic mass of M}=\left[\text{Molar mass of MCl}_2-2\left(\text{Atomic mass of Cl}\right)\right]   ...... (5)

Substitute 222.5 g/mol for molar mass of \text{MCl}_2 and 35.453 g for atomic mass of Cl in equation (5).

\begin{aligned}\text{Atomic mass of M}=&222.5\text{ g}-2\left(35.453\text{ g}\right)\\=&151.6\text{ g}\end{aligned}

Therefore atomic mass of M is 151.6 g.

Mass of silver chloride formed = 1.286 g

Molar mass of silver chloride = 143.32 g/mol AgCl

Converting mass to moles of AgCl using the molar mass:

1.286 g AgCl *\frac{1mol}{143.32g}= 0.00897 mol AgCl

The balanced chemical equation between metal chloride and silver nitrate can be represented as,

MCl_{2}(aq)+2AgNO_{3}(aq)-->2AgCl(s)+M(NO_{3})_{2}(aq)

Calculating the moles of MCl2 from moles of AgCl that form:

0.00897 mol AgCl*\frac{1molMCl_{2} }{2molAgCl} =0.00449mol MCl_{2}

The given mass of MCl_{2}=0.999 g

Molar mass of MCl_{2}=\frac{0.999g}{0.00449mol} =222.5g/mol

Molar mass of M= Molar mass of MCl_{2}- 2 (Molar mass of Cl)

                          =151.6g/mol

What is an ion? Describe and give an example.
Goshia [24]
An ion is a charged atom or molecule. It is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. An atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom. An example is Iron (III) , Iron (II) , lithium, and hydrogen.

What is the temperature of CO2 gas if the average speed (actually the root-mean-square speed) of the molecules is 750 m/s?
erastova [34]

Answer:

992.302 K

Explanation:

V(rms) = 750 m/s

V(rms) = √(3RT / M)

V = velocity of the gas

R = ideal gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T = temperature of the gas

M = molar mass of the gas

Molar mass of CO₂ = [12 + (16*2)] = 12+32 = 44g/mol

Molar mass = 0.044kg/mol

From

½ M*V² = 3 / 2 RT

MV² = 3RT

K = constant

V² = 3RT / M

V = √(3RT / M)

So, from V = √(3RT / M)

V² = 3RT / M

V² * M = 3RT

T = (V² * M) / 3R

T = (750² * 0.044) / 3 * 8.314

T = 24750000 / 24.942

T = 992.302K

The temperature of the gas is 992.302K

Note : molar mass of the gas was converted from g/mol to kg/mol so the value can change depending on whichever one you use.

Describe the capillary action in acetone compared to water
lakkis [162]
Capillary action is defined as the ability of a liquid to go up a narrow space without the help or opposition of external forces. One of the most important factors affecting capillary action is the intermolecular forces within a substance. The higher the IMF, the greater the capillary action. The H-bonding in water gives it greater IMF than acetone, so water has greater capillary action.

Evaluate the exponential expression (−2)6.
Olegator [25]

A general exponential expression is something like:

A^n

This means that we need to multiply the number A by itself n times.

Using that we will get (-2)^6 = 64

With that definition, we can rewrite:

(-2)^6 = (-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2)

So we just need to solve the above expression.

Also, remember the rule of signs:

(-)*(-) = (+)

We will get:

(-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2) =  [(-2)*(-2)]*[(-2)*(-2)]*[(-2)*(-2)]

                                        =  4*4*4 = 16*4 = 64

Then we got:

(-2)^6 = 64
