<u>Answer:</u> The element represented by M is Strontium.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Let us consider the molar mass of metal be 'x'.
The molar mass of MO will be = Molar mass of oxygen + Molar mass of metal = (16 + x)g/mol
It is given in the question that 15.44% of oxygen is present in metal oxide. So, the equation becomes:

The metal atom having molar mass as 87.62/mol is Strontium.
Hence, the element represented by M is Strontium.
Polar covalent bond- a bond where atoms are unevenly shared due to a larger difference in electronegativity of the bonded elements.
Non-polar covalent bond- These are bonds between elements with a low difference in electronegativity. Electrons are shared equally in these bonds between the elements.
Ionic bonds- have such large difference in electronegativity that they take/give electrons to the element they are bonded to. They do not share electrons at all. Bonds between a non-metal and a metal.
Answer :
The concentration of
before any titrant added to our starting material is 0.200 M.
The pH based on this
ion concentration is 0.698
Explanation :
First we have to calculate the concentration of
before any titrant is added to our starting material.
As we are given:
Concentration of HBr = 0.200 M
As we know that the HBr is a strong acid that dissociates complete to give hydrogen ion
and bromide ion
.
As, 1 M of HBr dissociates to give 1 M of 
So, 0.200 M of HBr dissociates to give 0.200 M of 
Thus, the concentration of
before any titrant added to our starting material is 0.200 M.
Now we have to calculate the pH based on this
ion concentration.
pH : It is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration.
![pH=-\log [H^+]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3D-%5Clog%20%5BH%5E%2B%5D)


Thus, the pH based on this
ion concentration is 0.698
Answer : The balanced equations will be:

Explanation :
The general rate of reaction is,

Rate of reaction : It is defined as the change in the concentration of any one of the reactants or products per unit time.
The expression for rate of reaction will be :
![\text{Rate of disappearance of A}=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BRate%20of%20disappearance%20of%20A%7D%3D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Ba%7D%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BA%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D)
![\text{Rate of disappearance of B}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BRate%20of%20disappearance%20of%20B%7D%3D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bb%7D%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BB%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D)
![\text{Rate of formation of C}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BRate%20of%20formation%20of%20C%7D%3D%2B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bc%7D%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BC%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D)
![\text{Rate of formation of D}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BRate%20of%20formation%20of%20D%7D%3D%2B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bd%7D%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BD%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D)
![Rate=-\frac{1}{a}\frac{d[A]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{b}\frac{d[B]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{c}\frac{d[C]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{d}\frac{d[D]}{dt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Rate%3D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Ba%7D%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BA%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D%3D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bb%7D%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BB%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D%3D%2B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bc%7D%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BC%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D%3D%2B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7Bd%7D%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BD%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D)
From this we conclude that,
In the rate of reaction, A and B are the reactants and C and D are the products.
a, b, c and d are the stoichiometric coefficient of A, B, C and D respectively.
The negative sign along with the reactant terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the reactant is decreasing and positive sign along with the product terms is used simply to show that the concentration of the product is increasing.
Now we have to determine the balanced equations corresponding to the following rate expressions.
![Rate=-\frac{d[CH_4]}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[O_2]}{dt}=+\frac{1}{2}\frac{d[H_2O]}{dt}=+\frac{d[CO_2]}{dt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Rate%3D-%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BCH_4%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D%3D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BO_2%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D%3D%2B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BH_2O%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D%3D%2B%5Cfrac%7Bd%5BCO_2%5D%7D%7Bdt%7D)
The balanced equations will be:
