Answer is: identity of the metal is gold (Au).
ω(Cl) = 35.06% ÷ 100%.
ω(Cl) = 0.3506; mass percentage of chlorine.
If we take 100 grams of the compound:
m(Cl) = ω(Cl) · m(compound).
ω(Cl) = 0.3506 · 100 g.
ω(Cl) = 35.06 g.
n(Cl) = m(Cl) ÷ M(Cl).
n(Cl) = 35.06 g ÷ 35.45 g/mol.
n(Cl) = 0.99 mol; amount of substance.
In molecule MCl₃: n(M) : n(Cl) = 1 : 3.
n(M) = 0.33 mol; amount of unknown metal.
M(M) = m(M) ÷ n(M).
M(M) = (100 g - 35.06 g) ÷ 0.33 mol.
M(M) = 196.8 g/mol; molar mass of the gold.
This was an answer i found on google from Nasa
The Answer is A
This is because sodium needs to give off one electron to be stable, form these options the only element that needs to take one electron to be stable is fluorine thus A is the answer
Could I hear the options..
