People had asked this many times and that is why they came up with methods and standards that will answer these type of questions. You can look it up in the NIST or the National Institute for Standards and Technology.
Answer:
Oxide of M is and sulfate of
Explanation:
0.303 L of molecular hydrogen gas measured at 17°C and 741 mmHg.
Let moles of hydrogen gas be n.
Temperature of the gas ,T= 17°C =290 K
Pressure of the gas ,P= 741 mmHg= 0.9633 atm
Volume occupied by gas , V = 0.303 L
Using an ideal gas equation:
Moles of hydrogen gas produced = 0.01225 mol
Moles of metal =
So, 8.3333 mol of metal M gives 0.01225 mol of hydrogen gas.
x = 2.9 ≈ 3
Formulas for the oxide and sulfate of M will be:
Oxide of M is and sulfate of .
