One mole of a metallic oxide reacts with one mole of hydrogen to produce two moles of the pure metal

Chemistry

MAXImum [283]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The metallic oxide is Li₂O

Explanation:

Let the metallic oxide be M₂O

Thus;

M₂O + H₂ = 2M + H₂O

Molar mass of M₂O = (2x + 16)

We assume Molar mass of M to be x.

We are told that 5.00 g of the metallic oxide produces 2.32 g of the metal.

By proportion, we can write the following;

5g of M₂O × (1 mole of M₂O/(2x + 16)) × (2 moles of M/1 mole of M₂O) = 2.32 g of M × 1 mole of M/x g of M

This cancels out to give us;

10/(2x + 16) = 2.32/x

Cross multiply to get;

10x = 2.32(2x + 16)

10x = 4.64x + 37.12

10x - 4.64x = 37.12

5.36x = 37.12

x = 37.12/5.36

x = 6.925 g/mol

The metal with a molar mass closest to this value of x is Lithium which has a molar mass of 6.94 g/mol

Thus the metal is Lithium and as such the metallic oxide is Li₂O

Which of the following is an example of ionic compound?
spayn [35]

What you are looking for is something from the left side of the periodic table (the metals), combined with something from the right side of the periodic table.

SiCl4 is something from the middle with something on the right. Not the answer.

HCl is a possible answer, but it is not the best one, because Hydrogen can be on both sides. It is not quite as willing to give up its electrons as the answer.

CCl4 has the same problem as A.

The answer is C

Ca is in column 2 just about as far left as you can get.

Cl is in column 17 which is just about as far right as you can get.

A salt sample is placed into some water and nearly all of it dissolves without stirring or heating. the resulting solution is
raketka [301]
The resulting solution is unsaturated.

An unsaturated solution is one in which the amount of solute can be increased. We know that the solution is unsaturated because there is no salt at the bottom of the solution and no means were required to increase the salt's solubility such as increasing temperature or stirring. Once the solution becomes saturated, additional salt will only deposit at the bottom unless changes in conditions are made.
