Lets name the unknown metal as M. Cation would be M³⁺.
the molecular formula of the compound is M₂(SO₄)₃
the mass of one mole - (molar mass of M x2 + 3 x molar mass of SO₄²⁻)
                                   = 2M + 96 x 3
                                   = 2M + 288
In 1 mol if there's 72.07% of sulphate , 
then 72.07 % corresponds to 288 g
               1 % is then      - 288/72.07 
       100 %  of the compound - 288/72.07 x 100 
 molar mass of the compound - 399.6 g/mol
mass of 2M - 399.6 - 288 = 111.6 g
molar mass of M - 111.6 /2 = 55.8 g/mol
the element with molar mass of 55.8 is Fe.
Unknown metal is iron(III) , Fe³⁺

What is the number of moles in 0.025 g (NH4)2Cr2O7?
Free_Kalibri [48]
We are asked to calculate the number of moles in a given mass of a substance. To be able to calculate it, we need the molar mass of the substance. For (NH4)2Cr2O7, the molar mass would be <span>252.07 g/mol. We calculate as follows:

0.025 g </span>(NH4)2Cr2O7 ( 1 mol / 252.07 g ) = 0.0001 mol <span>(NH4)2Cr2O7

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

An air sample consists of oxygen and nitrogen gas as major components. It also contains carbon dioxide and traces of some rare g
jekas [21]

Explanation:

A mixture is defined as the substance that contains two or more different number of substances that are physically mixed together.

For example, a mixture of air which contains oxygen, nitrogen and other gases.

A mixture in which solute particles are unevenly distributed into the solvent then it is known as a heterogeneous mixture.

For example, sand in water is a heterogeneous mixture.

A homogeneous mixture is defined as the mixture in which solute particles are evenly distributed in a solvent.

A homogeneous mixture is a clear solution.

For example, salt dissolved in water is a homogeneous mixture.

A solution is defined as the substance in which two or more substances are mixed together.

A compound is defined as the substance that contains two or more different elements that chemically combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.

A element is defined as the substance that contains only one type of atoms.

For example, a piece of sodium element will contain only atoms of sodium.

Whereas a pure substance is defined as the substance which contains only one type of molecule or one type of atom.

For example, O_{2}, N_{2} etc are pure substances.

Thus, we can conclude that the terms which could be used to describe the given sample of air is as follows.

  • pure chemical substance.
  • heterogenous mixture.
  • mixture.

What mass of oxygen reacts when 84.9 g of iron is consumed in the following reaction: Fe+O2= Fe2O3
konstantin123 [22]
First we will calculate the number of moles of Iron:
n =  \frac{m}{M}&#10;, where n is the number of moles, m is the mass of iron in the reaction and M is the Atomic weight.
n= \frac{84.9}{55.845} = 1,52 moles of Iron.
The same number of moles of Oxygen will take part in the reaction.
So 1,52= \frac{mOxygen}{32} where 32 is the Atomical Weight of Oxygen (16 x 2).
=>mOxygen=32*1,52=48,64g
