Answer:
The answer to your question is 24.32 g
Explanation:
Data
Atomic weight = ?
HCl volume = 125 ml
Molarity = 0.2
mass of metal = 0.304 g
Balanced chemical equation
M + 2HCl ⇒ MCl₂ + H₂
Process
1.- Calculate the moles of HCl
Molarity = moles / volume (L)
- Solve for moles
moles = Molarity x volume
moles = 0.2 x 0.125
= 0.025
2.- Calculate the moles of the Metal
1 mol of M ----------------- 2 moles of HCl
x ----------------- 0.025 moles of HCl
x = (0.025 x 1) / 2
x = 0.0125 moles of HCl
3.- Calculate the atomic weight of the metal
atomic weight ---------------- 1 mol
0.304 g ---------------0.0125 moles
Atomic weight = (1 x 0.304) / 0.0125
Atomic weight = 24.32 g
Answer:
The molar mass of the metal is 24.32 g/mol (Magnesium)
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
volume of a 0.2 M HCl = 125 mL = 0.125 L
Mass of the metal = 0.304 grams
Step 2: The balanced equation
M + 2HCL ⇔ MCL2+ H2
Step 3: Calculate moles of HCl
Moles HCl = molarity * volume
Moles HCl = 0.2 M * 0.125 L
Moles HCl = 0.025 moles
Step 4: Calculate moles M
For 1 mol M we need 2 moles HCl to produce 1 mol MCl2 and 1 mol H2
For 0.025 moles HCl we have 0.025/2 = 0.0125 moles M
Step 5: Calculate molar mass M
Molar mass M = mass M / moles M
Molar mass M = 0.304 grams / 0.0125 moles
Molar mass M = 24.32 g/mol
The molar mass of the metal is 24.32 g/mol (Magnesium)
