Answer:
58.0 g/mol
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- MCl₂ + 2AgNO₃ → 2AgCl + M(NO₃)₂
First we <u>calculate how many moles of silver chloride</u> were produced, using its <em>molar mass</em>:
- 6.41 g AgCl ÷ 143.32 g/mol = 0.0447 mol AgCl
Then we <u>convert AgCl moles into MCl₂ moles</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric ratio</em>:
- 0.0447 mol AgCl *
= 0.0224 mol MCl₂
Now we<u> calculate the molar mass of MCl₂</u>, using the original<em> mass of the sample</em>:
- 2.86 g / 0.0224 mol = 127.68 g/mol
We can write the molar mass of MCl₂ as:
- Molar Mass MCl₂ = Molar Mass of M + (Molar Mass of Cl)*2
- 127.68 g/mol = Molar Mass of M + (35.45 g/mol)*2
Finally we<u> calculate the molar mass</u> of M:
- Molar Mass of M = 57 g/mol
The closest option is 58.0 g/mol.
