Answer:
See the explanation
Explanation:
In this case, we have to keep in mind that in the monosubstituted product we only have to replace 1 hydrogen with another group. In this case, we are going to use the methyl group
.
In the axial position, we have a more steric hindrance because we have two hydrogens near to the
group. If we have <u>more steric hindrance</u> the molecule would be <u>more unstable</u>. In the equatorial positions, we don't <u>any interactions</u> because the
group is pointing out. If we don't have <u>any steric hindrance</u> the molecule will be <u>more stable</u>, that's why the molecule will <u>the equatorial position.</u>
See figure 1
I hope it helps!
The molar mass of the M2O = 2(molar mass of M) + molar mass of oxygen
Molar mass of oxygen = 16
Therefore:
231.74 = 2(molar mass of M) + 16
215.74 = 2*molar mass of M
molar mass of M = 107.87 grams
Now, from the given formula, we can notice that the metal M is monovalnet and we know that chlorine is monovalent as well.
Therefore, the compound formed will be: MCl
molar mass of chlorine = 35.5 grams
Therefore,
molar mass of MCl = 107.87 + 35.5 = 143.37 grams
