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

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

Calculate the molarity of 0.700 mol of na2s in 1.05 l of solution.
slamgirl [31]
Molarity is the amount of solute molecule (in moles) per 1L of solvent. In this case, the solute is 0.7mol Na2S and the solvent volume is 1.05L. Since the unit in this problem is already mol and L then you don't need to do any conversion of the units. The calculation would be:

molarity = mol of solute / (1L/ volume of solvent)
molarity = 0.7 mol/ (1L/ 1.05L)= 0.67M

Write the symbols for the following isotopes: Its atoms contain 50 electrons and 70 neutrons
Veronika [31]
Since this element has 50 electrons you know that it has 50 protons. The number of proton= the atomic number. Atomic number 50 is tin. The atomic symbol for tin is Sn and the weight is 120. So this is the tin 120 isotope

Read the descriptions below of two substances and an experiment on each. Decide whether the result of the experiment tells you t
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Sample A is a mixture

Sample B is a mixture

Explanation:

For sample A, we are told that the originally yellow solid was dissolved and we obtained an orange powder at the bottom of the beaker. Subsequently, only about 30.0 g of solid was recovered out of the 50.0g of solid dissolved. This implies that the solid is not pure and must be a mixture. The other components of the mixture must have remained in solution accounting for the loss in mass of solid obtained.

For sample B, we are told that boiling started at 66.2°C and continued until 76.0°C. The implication of this is that B must be a mixture since it boils over a range of temperatures. Pure substances have a sharp boiling point.
