A metal (M) forms an oxide with the formula M2O. If the oxide contains 16.99% O by mass, what is the identity of the metal?

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Calculate the molar mass of oxygen (O), which is approximately 16.00 g/mol.
Let the molar mass of the metal (M) be represented as x g/mol.
The molar mass of the oxide M2O is 2x + 16.00 g/mol.
Set up the equation for the mass percentage of oxygen: (16.00 / (2x + 16.00)) * 100 = 16.99.
Solve the equation for x to find the molar mass of the metal M.

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Molar Mass and Percent Composition

Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, typically expressed in grams per mole. Percent composition refers to the percentage by mass of each element in a compound. In this question, knowing the percent composition of oxygen in the oxide allows us to calculate the molar mass of the metal by using the formula for percent composition.

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the relationships between the quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions. In this case, the stoichiometric ratio of the metal (M) to oxygen in the oxide M2O is crucial for determining the molar mass of the metal based on the given mass percentage of oxygen.

Identifying Elements from Molar Mass

Once the molar mass of the metal is calculated, it can be compared to known molar masses of elements on the periodic table to identify the metal. Each element has a unique molar mass, and this comparison allows us to determine which metal corresponds to the calculated value based on the oxide's formula.
