A student uses a strip of metal in an electrolysis circuit in which the metal strip serves as the anode and is connected to the positive terminal of a power supply. The negative terminal of the power supply is connected to an insulated copper wire. An ammeter is placed in the circuit and the power supply is turned on. A current of 1.17 A flows for 6 min and 39 sec. During this time the mass loss of the metal is 0.168 g. What is the molar mass of the metal?
