A scientist is trying to discover information about an unknown metal in a compound. The formula for the compound is believed to be XBr3 where X is the unknown metal. The scientist determined that a 4.708 g sample of this compound contains 5.296×10−2 mol Br. Calculate the atomic mass of the unknown metal, X and say what the identity of the metal is.
Counting Atoms The formula for a compound indicates the elements that make up the compound and the number of atoms of each element present in the compound. These numbers of atoms are indicated by the use of small numbers called subscripts. Sometimes groups of atoms act as a single atom. When a subscript appears outside the parentheses, it indicates that all the elements inside the parentheses should be multiplied by that subscript. For example, the formula Fe(OH)3 indicates the combination of 1 atom of iron, Fe, 3 atoms of oxygen, O, and 3 atoms of hydrogen, H. In the following examples, list each element in the compound and the number of atoms of each element present. The first example has been done for you. You may already be familiar with some of the compounds.
