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

Which term names the group of organisms able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring?
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Species

Explanation:

Species is the group of organisms able to interbreed and produce fertile offspring.

Let's break down each word in the question:

"Organisms" means living thing. It can be a plant or animal like we usually think of, but it also includes the really small single-celled living things like some bacteria.

"Interbreed" means to mate with each other.

"Fertile" means that the living thing can also have babies.

"Offspring" means the children that are born.

"Fertile offspring" means that the children that are made must be able to have babies of their own. For example, if a frog and a bird could interbreed, they might produce offspring (children). But, if those frog-birds cannot also have children, then frog-bird is not a species.

Balance this equation. If a coefficient of "1" is required, choose "blank" for that box. C2H6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O
fenix001 [56]
Step 1: Write the unbalanced equation,

                                 C₂H₆  +  O₂    →    CO₂  +  H₂<span>O

There are 2 C at left hand side and 1 carbon at right hand side. So, multiply CO</span>₂ by 2 to balance C atoms at both side. So,

                                 C₂H₆  +  O₂    →   2 CO₂  +  H₂O

Now, count number of H atoms at both sides. There are 6 H atoms at left hand side and 2 at right hand side. Multiply H₂O by 3 to balance H atoms.


                                 C₂H₆  +  O₂    →   2 CO₂  +  3 H₂O

At last, balance O atoms. There are 2 O atoms at left hand side and 3 O atoms at right hand side. Multiply O₂ with 1.5 (i.e. 3/2) to balance O atoms. i.e.

                                 C₂H₆  +  3/2 O₂    →   2 CO₂  +  3 H₂O

Hence, the equation is balanced. If you want to make equation fraction free then multiply all equation with 2. i.e.

                           ( C₂H₆  +  3/2 O₂    →   2 CO₂  +  3 H₂O ) × 2

                                2 C₂H₆  +  3 O₂    →   4 CO₂  +  6 H₂O
