The charge would be -2 because there are 2 more electrons than protons, and electrons have a negative charge.
"Increase Pressure " is the right answer. if you need help , let me know
Lets name the unknown metal as M. Cation would be M³⁺.
the molecular formula of the compound is M₂(SO₄)₃
the mass of one mole - (molar mass of M x2 + 3 x molar mass of SO₄²⁻)
= 2M + 96 x 3
= 2M + 288
In 1 mol if there's 72.07% of sulphate ,
then 72.07 % corresponds to 288 g
1 % is then - 288/72.07
100 % of the compound - 288/72.07 x 100
molar mass of the compound - 399.6 g/mol
mass of 2M - 399.6 - 288 = 111.6 g
molar mass of M - 111.6 /2 = 55.8 g/mol
the element with molar mass of 55.8 is Fe.
Unknown metal is iron(III) , Fe³⁺
K, ca, sc is the right answer. Take a look at table S of your chemistry reference table.
# moles = mass (g) / Mr (relative atomic mass)
# moles = 458 / ((23*2)+32+(16*4)
# moles= 458 / 142 = 3.2253521126760...
= 3.23 moles
