Answer: M= 128 g/mol (Te is quite close)

Explanation: number of Oxygen moles is n = 8 g / 32 g/mol = 0,25 mol.

Because formula of oxide is MO, thus amount of metal is also 0,25 mol.

Because n = m/M , Molar mass of the metal M = m/n = 32 g /0.25 mol = 128 g/ mol

Answer:

<u><em>Hydroxylation </em></u>

Explanation:

Hydroxylation is a chemical process that introduces a hydroxyl group (-OH) into an organic compound. In biochemistry, hydroxylation reactions are often facilitated by enzymes called hydroxylases. Hydroxylation is the first step in the oxidative degradation of organic compounds in air.

Answer:

The reducing agent is Zn.

Explanation:

Let's consider the reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid.

Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) ⇄ ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)

This is a redox reaction, which can be divided in 2 half-reactions: reduction and oxidation.

In the reduction, H⁺ gains electrons and it is considered the oxidizing agent.

2H⁺ + 2 e⁻ ⇒ H₂

In the oxidation, Zn loses electrons and it is considered the reducing agent.

Zn ⇒ Zn²⁺ + 2 e⁻

A gas effuses 1.55 times faster than propane (C3H8)at the
stepladder [879]

Answer:  The mass of the gas is 18.3 g/mol.

Explanation:

To calculate the rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows:

\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}

\frac{Rate_{X}}{Rate_{C_3H_8}}=1.55

\frac{Rate_{X}}{Rate_{C_3H_8}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{C_3H_8}}{M_{X}}}

1.55=\sqrt{\frac{44}{M_{X}}

Squaring both sides and solving for M_{X}

M_{X}=18.3g/mol

Hence, the molar mas of unknown gas is 18.3 g/mol.
