Solution :

It is given that :

The formula of the compound = $XBr_3$

And that 4.70 g of the sample contains $4.834 \times 10^{-2}$ mol of Br.

It means that :

1 mol of $XBr_3$ contains = 3 mol of Br

∴ 3 mol of $Br^-$ contain in 1 mol of $XBr_3$

$4.834 \times 10^{-2}$ mol of $Br^-$  contains $1.576 \times 10^{-2}$ mol of $XBr_3$

Thus the mol of $XBr_3$ = $1.576 \times 10^{-2}$ mol

The given mass is = 4.700 g

Therefore, the $\text{molar mass}$ of $XBr_3$  $=\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{mol}}$

                                                           $=\frac{4.700 \ g}{1.576 \times 10^{-2} \ mol}$

                                                          = 298.4 g/mol

So $\text{molar mass}$ of $XBr_3$ = $\text{molar mass}$ of X + 3 x $\text{molar mass}$ of Br

      298.4 g/mol = $\text{molar mass}$ of X + 3 x 79.90 g/mol

      298.4 g/mol = $\text{molar mass}$ of X + 239.7 g/mol

       $\text{molar mass}$ of X = 58.71 g/mol    (since 1 amu = 1 g/mol)      

Therefore the atomic mass of the unknown metal = 58.71 g/mol

So the unknown meta is Nickel.

Hi i have 5 mins to complete this please help... Take a look at this equation:
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

C: The Fe is not balanced

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as:

          Fe₂O₃   +   3H₂  →  Fe  +  3H₂O

The problem here is to find the specie that is not balanced.

                                                        Number of moles

Specie                               Reactant                                      Product

Fe                                              2                                                 1

O                                               3                                                3

H                                                6                                                6      

So, we see that Fe is not balanced.

g Gaseous methane will react with gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water . Suppose 0.96 g of methane
galben [10]

Answer: 2.64 g of carbon dioxide that could be produced by the chemical reaction.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} CH_4=\frac{0.96g}{16g/mol}=0.06moles

\text{Moles of} O_2=\frac{6.37}{32}=0.20moles

CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of CH_4 require = 2 moles of O_2

Thus 0.06 moles of CH_4 will require=\frac{2}{1}\times 0.06=0.12moles  of O_2

Thus CH_4 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and O_2 is the excess reagent.

As 1 moles of CH_4 give = 1 mole of CO_2

Thus 0.06 moles of CH_4 give =\frac{1}{1}\times 0.06=0.06moles  of CO_2

Mass of CO_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.06moles\times 44g/mol=2.64g

Thus 2.64 g of carbon dioxide that could be produced by the chemical reaction.
