Answer» We have given, Weight of element M = 35.3g Weight of compound M3N2 = 43.5g 3M + N2 → M3N2 (balance equation) From above balance equation, use can clearly see that 3 mole of element M react with one mole of Nitrogen to form one mole M3N2. Let say. molar mass of element M = x g. ∴ Number of moles of element M = \(\frac {35.3}{x}\)mole and Number of moles of M3N2 = \(\frac {43.5}{28 + 3x}\) mole. ∴ 3 mole of element produce = 1 mole M3N2 ∴ 1 mole of element M produce = \(\frac 13\) mole of M3N2 ∴ \(\frac {35.3}{x}\) mole of element M produce = \(\frac {35.3}{3x}\) mole of M3N2 but \(\frac {43.5}{28 + 3x}\) mole of M3N2 formed Therefore - \(\frac {43.5}{28 + 3x}\) = \(\frac {35.3}{3x}\) = 130.5x = 988.4 + 105.9 x = 24.6x = 988.4 x = 40.18g. i) Hence, the molar mass of element M will be 40.18g ii) We know that, change on Nitrogen is -3. ∴ Oxidation state of M will be = Let say - M has oxidation state y then, 3y + 2 (-3) = 0 = 3y = 6 = y = +2 it means element has oxidation state (valency) +2 and molar mass 40.17g. We know that Ca has valency +2 and it has molar mass approx 40.078 Therefor compound will be Ca3N2 And the name of compound is Calcium nitride. |
