You have 0.2231 grams of an unknown monovalent salt (MCl). You treat it with an excess of AgNO3 and precipitate all the chloride ion. 0.5471 grams of AgCl precipitates. What is the formula weight and identity of M

Formula weight of MCl = 58.55 g/mol

M = Sodium

Explanation:

Calculation of the moles of as:-

Mass = 0.5471 g

Molar mass of = 143.32 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

Thus,

1 mole of AgCl is produced from 1 mole of MCl

So, moles of MCl = 0.00381 mol

Mass = 0.2231 grams

Molar mass = Mass/Moles = 0.2231 grams/0.00381 mol= 58.55 g/mol

Molar mass of Cl = 35.5 g/mol

Molar mass of M = Molar mass of MCl - Molar mass of Cl = 58.55 g/mol - 35.5 g/mol = 23.05 g/mol

This mass corresponds to sodium.

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.

explanation:

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z
