Stoichiometry, Mole Concept & Volumetric Analysis
Solution
If the molar mass of X(HCO3)\(_{2}\) is 162 g mol\(^{-1}\), determine the relative atomic mass of X.
[H = 1.0, C = 12.0, 0 = 16.0]
A
40
B
48
C
61
D
101
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Chemical Principles & Mechanism
Molar mass of X(HCO3)2 = X+(1+12+(16*3))2=162
=X + (13+48)2=162
X + 122=162
X=162-122
X=40

A
tangible
B
durable
C
unchanging
D
spiritual
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
