A0.708 g sample of a metal, m, reacts completely with sulfuric acid according to the reaction m ( s ) + h 2 so 4 ( aq ) ⟶ mso 4 ( aq ) + h 2 ( g ) a volume of 275 ml of hydrogen gas is collected over water; the water level in the collecting vessel is the same as the outside level. atmospheric pressure is 1.0079 bar and the temperature is 25 °c. the vapor pressure of water at 25 °c is 0.03167 bar. calculate the molar mass of the metal.

The metal has a molar mass of 65.37 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of the metal = 0.708 grams

Volume of hydrogen = 275 mL = 0.275 L

Atmospheric pressure = 1.0079 bar = 0.9947 atm

Temperature = 25°C

Vapor pressure of water at 25 °C = 0.03167 bar = 0.03126 atm

Step 2: The balanced equation

M(s) + H2SO4(aq) ⟶ MSO4 (aq) + H2(g)

Step 3: Calculate pH2

Atmospheric pressure = vapor pressure of water + pressure of H2

0.9947 atm = 0.03126 atm + pressure of H2

Pressure of H2 = 0.9947 - 0.03126

Pressure of H2 = 0.96344 atm

Step 4: Calculate moles of H2

p*V=n*R*T

⇒ with p = The pressure of H2 = 0.96344 atm

⇒ with V = the volume of H2 = 0.275 L

⇒ with n = the number of moles H2 = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒ with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/K*mol

⇒ with T = the temperature = 25°C = 298 Kelvin

n = (p*V)/(R*T)

n = (0.96344 * 0.275)/(0.08206*298)

n = 0.01083 moles

Step 5: Calculate moles of M

For 1 mole of H2 produced, we need 1 mole M

For 0.0108 moles of H2 we need 0.01083 moles of M

Step 6: Calculate molar mass of M

Molar mass M = Mass M / moles M

Molar mass M = 0.708 grams / 0.01083 moles

Molar mass M = 65.37 g/mol

The metal has a molar mass of 65.37 g/mol
