1) Calculate the number of moles of O2 (g) in 300 cm^3 of gas at 298 k and 1 atm
Ideal gas equation: pV = nRT => n = pV / RT
R = 0.0821 atm*liter/K*mol
V = 300 cm^3 = 0.300 liter
T = 298 K
p = 1 atm
=> n = 1 atm * 0.300 liter / [ (0.0821 atm*liter /K*mol) * 298K] = 0.01226 mol
2) The reaction of a metal with O2(g) to form an ionic compound (with O2- ions) is of the type
X (+) + O2 (g) ---> X2O or
2 X(2+) + O2(g) ----> X2O2 = 2XO or
4X(3+) + 3O2(g) ---> 2X2O3
In the first case, 1 mol of metal react with 1 mol of O2(g); in the second case, 2 moles of metal react with 1 mol of O2(g); in the third, 4 moles of X react with 3 moles of O2(g)
So, lets probe those 3 cases.
3) Case 1: 1 mol of metal X / 1 mol O2(g) = x moles / 0.01226 mol
=> x = 0.01226 moles of metal X
Now you can calculate the atomic mass of the hypotethical metal:
1.15 grams / 0.01226 mol = 93.8 g / mol
That does not correspond to any of the metal with valence 1+
So, now probe the case 2.
4) Case 2:
2moles X metal / 1 mol O2(g) = x / 0.01226 mol
=> x = 2 * 0.01226 = 0.02452 mol
And the atomic mass of the metal is: 1.15 g / 0.02452 mol = 46.9 g/mol
That is similar to the atomic mass of titanium which is 47.9 g / mol and whose valece is 2+.
4) Case 3
4 mol meta X / 3 mol O2 = x / 0.01226 => x = 0.01226 * 4 / 3 = 0.01635
atomic mass = 1.15 g / 0.01635 mol = 70.33 g/mol
That does not correspond to any metal.
Conclusion: the identity of the metallic element could be titanium.
<span>This question asksyou to apply Hess's law.
You have to look for how to add up all the reaction so that you get the net equation as the combustion for benzene. The net reaction should look something like C6H6(l)+ O2 (g)-->CO2(g) +H2O(l). So, you need to add up the reaction in a way so that you can cancel H2 and C.
multiply 2 H2(g) + O2 (g) --> 2H2O(l) delta H= -572 kJ by 3
multiply C(s) + O2(g) --> CO2(g) delta H= -394 kJ by 12
multiply 6C(s) + 3 H2(g) --> C6H6(l) delta H= +49 kJ by 2 after reversing the equation.
Then,
6 H2(g) + 3O2 (g) --> 6H2O(l) delta H= -1716 kJ
12C(s) + 12O2(g) --> 12CO2(g) delta H= -4728 kJ
2C6H6(l) --> 12 C(s) + 6 H2(g) delta H= - 98 kJ
______________________________________...
2C6H6(l) + 16O2 (g)-->12CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) delta H= - 6542 kJ
I hope this helps and my answer is right.</span>
