Answer

Requires calculations using standard values and constants for different elements to determine \( M_{1_{M(NO3)2}} \) and then comparing \( M \) to the masses of Group II elements. High precision required. No absolute answer without calculations.

Explain

## Step 1: Identify the premise<br />This is a chemistry problem involving the application of the gas law and basic stoichiometry. <br />The premise is that 0.320g of M(NO3)2, unknown group 2 metal nitrate, is heated and decomposes into a mix of gasses. These gasses have a given volume, temperature, and pressure. We are tasked to find the molar mass \(M_1\) of M(NO3)2 and identify the \(M \) in the compound. <br /><br />## Step 2: Use the ideal gas law<br />First, we'll start with the application of the Ideal Gas Law \( PV = nRT \) which includes Pressure (P), Volume (V), number of moles of gas (n), ideal gas constant (R), and absolute temperature (T). <br /><br />### The ideal gas law formula: <br /><br />### \( PV = nRT \)<br /><br />We use this law to calculate the amount in moles for the mixture of the gases produced when M(NO3)2 is heated. In this case, P is 101000 Pa (pressure stated in pascal), <br />V is 2.25 x 10^-4 m^3 (volume convert from cm^3 to m^3), <br />R is 8.31 J • K−1 • mol −1, <br />T is 723 K (temperature convert from Celsius to Kelvin), <br />n is what we are looking to find. Rearranging:<br /><br />### \( n = \frac{PV}{RT} \)<br /><br />## Step 3: Stoichiometry to find moles of M(NO3)2<br />From the balanced equation in the question, we can tell that the moles of the gas produced is a result from one mole of M(NO3)2 decomposing into 4 mol of NO and 1 mol O2 (i.e., a total of 5 mol per 2 mol M(NO3)2 ). Utilizing stoichiometry we can determine the moles of M(NO3)2 from the moles of gasses.<br /><br />### \(n_{_{M(NO3)2}} = \frac{n_{_{total gas}}}{2.5}\)<br /><br />Because each 2 mol of M(NO3)2 gives 5 mol of gas.<br /><br />##Step 4: Calculate for molar mass<br />After obtaining the moles of M(NO3)2 , we can then determined its molar mass by taken the mass and divide it by the moles calculated in the step above.<br /><br />### \(M_{1_{M(NO3)2}} = \frac{mass_{_{M(NO3)2}}}{mol_{_{M(NO3)2}}}\)<br /><br />## Step 5: Identify M <br />once we have found the required atomic mass of M, Identify the element by comparing with the given periodic masses. The Element that is found serves as \( M \) in \( M(NO3)2 \).
