A metal, M , of atomic mass 56 amu reacts with chlorine to form a salt that can be represented as MClx. A boiling point elevation experiment is performed to determine the subscript , and therefore, the formula of the salt. A 30.2 g sample of the salt is dissolved in 100.0 g of water and the boiling point of the solution is found to be 376.81 K. Find the formula of the salt. Assume complete dissociation of the salt in solution.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!! I AM VERY CONFUSED AND ITS DUE TODAY BEFORE 11:55 THANK YOU IN ADVANCED

  MCl₂

Explanation:

The formula for boiling point elevation can be used to find x. The "complete dissociation" means there will be an ion of M and x ions of Cl in the solution. The number of moles of solute will be 30.2 grams divided by the molecular weight of MClx, where x is the variable we're trying to find.

Then the formula for the salt is MCl₂.

when 25.0 ml of 0.700 mol/l naoh was mixed in a calorimeter with 25.0 ml of 0.700 mol/l hcl, both initially at 20.0 °c, the temperature increased to 22.1 °c. the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 279 j/°c.

the equation for the reaction is:

naoh + hcl → nacl + h₂o

moles of hcl = 0.0250 l hcl ×

0.700

mol hcl

1 l hcl = 0.0175 mol hcl

volume of solution = (25.0 + 25.0) ml = 50.0 ml

mass of solution = 50.0 ml soln ×

1.00

ml soln

= 50.0 g soln

δt=t2-t1

= (22.1 – 20.0) °c = 2.1 °c

the heats involved are

heat from neutralization + heat to warm solution + heat to warm calorimeter = 0

q1+q2+q3=0

nδh+mcδt+cδt=0

0.0175 mol ×

δh

+ 50.0 g × 4.184 j·g⁻¹°c⁻¹ × 2.1 °c + 279 j°c⁻¹ × 2.1 °c = 0

0.0175 mol ×

δh

+ 439.32 j + 585.9 j = 0

0.0175 mol ×

δh

= -1025.22 j

δh=1025.22j0.0175 mol= -58 600 j/mol = -58.6 kj/mol

the answer is b & c i believe : )
