Chapter 5, Problem 5.53QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given reaction data equation, formulas for the oxide and Sulfate of the metal M has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Ideal gas is the most usually used form of the ideal gas equation, which describes the relationship among the four variables P, V, n, and T.  An ideal gas is a hypothetical sample of gas whose pressure-volume-temperature behavior is predicted accurately by the ideal gas equation.

PV = nRT

A balanced equation is an equation for a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge are the similar for both the reactants and the products.

Answer to Problem 5.53QP

The mole ratio of H2 to M is 1.5:1.

M(s) + 3HCl(aq)1.5H2(g) + MCl3(aq)

Therefore, the formulas of the metal oxide and the Metal sulfate are M2OandM2(SO4)3, respectively.

Explanation of Solution

The moles of the metal consumed in the reaction

molM=0.225gM×1molM27.0gM=8.33×10-3molM

The moles of metal consume is calculated by plugging in the values of the given weight of metal and molecular weight of metal.  The moles of metal consume was found to be 8.33×10-3molM

The moles of H2 gas using the ideal gas equation.

P=(741mmHg)(1atm760mmHg)=0.975atmT=17°C+273=290K

 nH2=PH2VRT  nH2=(0.975atm)(0.303L)(0.0821L.atmK.mol)(290K)=1.24×10-2molH2

The moles of H2 gas is calculated by plugging in the values of the given volume of H2 gas, temperature and pressure.  The moles of H2 gas was found to be 0.303molH2

Compare the number of moles of H2 produced to the number of moles of M consumed.

1.24×10-2molH28.33×10-3molM1.5

This means that the mole ratio of H2 to M is 1.5:1.

We can now write the balanced equation since we know the mole ratio between H2andM

The unbalanced equation is

M(s) + HCl(aq)1.5H2(g) + MxCly(aq)

We have three atoms of H on the products side of the reaction, so a 3 must be placed in front of HCl. The ratio of M to Cl on the reactants side is now 1:3. Therefore the formula of the metal chloride must be MCl3.

The balanced equation is

M(s) + 3HCl(aq)1.5H2(g) + MCl3(aq)

From the formula of the metal chloride, we determine that the charge of the metal is

+3. Therefore, the formulas of the metal oxide and the Metal Sulfate are M2OandM2(SO4)3, respectively.

Conclusion

The given reaction data equation, formulas for the oxide and Sulfate of the metal M was determined.
