M+ is an unknown metal cation with a +1 charge. A student dissolves the chloride of the unknown metal, MCl, in enough water to m

ake 100.0 mL of solution. The student then mixes the solution with excess AgNO3 solution, causing AgCl to precipitate. The student collects the precipitate by filtration, dries, it and records the data shown below. (The molar mass of AgCl is 143 g/mol.) Mass of unknown chloride, MCl Mass of filter paper Mass of filter paper plus AgCl ppt 0.42 g 1.00 g 2.43 g Find the identity of metal chloride.

Looks like you're missing an answer choice. I have this question on my practice test for AP Chemistry, the correct answer would be KCl.

mass AgCl = 2.23 - 0.80 = 1.43g AgCl

1.43g AgCl / 143g/mol AgCl = 0.01 moles AgCl

- AgCl has a mole ratio of 1:1 so:

     moles Ag+ = moles Cl-, therefore Ag+ has 0.01 moles and Cl- has 0.01 moles

- MCl also has a 1:1 ration

      moles Cl- = moles M+

      - 0.01 moles of M+ and Cl-

0.01 Cl- = x/35.45 = 0.3545g Cl-

mass MCl = 0.74g

0.74g MCl - 0.3545g Cl- = 0.3955g M+

0.3955g M+/x =0.010 mol M+

x= 39.55g M+

K+ has a molar mass of approximately 39.10

Therefore KCl is your answer

Mass of AgCl = (mass of filter paper plus AgCl) - (mass of filter paper)
Mass of AgCl = 2.43 g - 1.00 g = 1.43 g AgCl 

<span>1.43 g AgCl (1 mole AgCl / 143 g AgCl) = 0.010 moles Ag left</span>

<span>Since there is 1 is to 1 ratio between the ions and the compound, then moles Ag+ = moles AgCl = 0.010 and moles Cl- = moles AgCl = 0.010. </span>

<span>The formula of the unknown chloride is MCl, so:

0.010 moles Cl- (1 mole M+ / 1 mole Cl-) = 0.010 moles M+ </span>

<span>0.010 moles Cl- (35.5 g Cl- / 1 mole Cl-) = 0.37 g Cl- </span>

<span>Mass M+ = Mass of MCl - mass of Cl- = 0.42 g - 0.37 g = 0.05 g. </span>

<span>0.05 g M+ / 0.010 moles M+ = 5 g/mole

I think the best answer would be option A. The metal chloride must be lithium chloride since the atomic mass of lithium is close to the calculated mass above.

slega [8]
If the The speed of light is approximately 3 × 108 meters per second (m/sec) so the speed of light written in standard numerical form is 300,000,000  m/sec. You will just simply move the place holders to 8 places to the right since the exponent is a positive number. So 3^8= 3x100000000 which is equal to 300,000,000 .

Enolase is an enzyme that catalyzes one reaction in glycolysis in all organisms that carry out this process. The amino acid sequ
Tom [10]

Answer:

Enzymes are influenced by changes in pH. Enzymes are best dynamic at ideal pH. It is the most favorable pH value - where the compound is most dynamic. Above and beneath to this ideal pH influence enzyme action. Accordingly enzyme show catalytic action at ideal pH.  

At the point when enzymes are st low or high pH. Hydrogen particles interface with amino corrosive present at dynamic site. In this way changes their state of amino acids, their legitimate direction and influence enzyme movement.  

While estimating action of enolase . 2 phospho glyceraldehyde is a substrate for enolase included a response tube. After appropriate in hatching measure of item is estimated (PEP). Proportion of PEP to 2 phospho glyceraldehyde gives thought regarding enzyme action.  

For negative control, we will take a response tube, without having any enzyme enolase in it. Along these lines we will ready to preclude any change of 2 phospho glyceraldehyde to PEP without enzyme.  

All compound present in our body are adjusted to as per the earth where we are living. In this manner makes us effective in C. aurantiacus ideal temperature for enolase is 55 degrees. So this catalyst will consistently work best at 55 degrees than at 37 degree .

The sodium levels increase inside the cell during action potential. Opposite to resting state, depolarization is the shift of electrical charge resulting in positive charge inside the cell. Depolarization is the start of cell-to-cell communication and other necessary physiological functions of an organism.
