41) a student attempts to determine the formula of an unkonwn chloride sal
a) the student first takes a 9.79 g sample of the salt and fully dec
produced is 7.29 g. what is the mass of metal m contained in the salt? just
calculation to support your answer. (5 points)
te of the salt and fully decomposes it. the mass of chlorine gas
ained in the salt? justify your answer or show a brief
b) the mass of metal m collected from part a is then reacted with zinc nitrate and 6.77 zinc metal is
produced how many moles of metal m reacted? the reaction for the process is given below. (5 points)
m+zn(no3)2 → m(no3)2 + zn
c) what is the molar mass and the identity of metal m? show calculation to support your answer. (5 points)
d) what is the empirical formula of the original chloride salt in part a. justify your answer or support your
answer by calculation. (5 points)

explanation:

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.

we can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (it's actually 801 deg c). the melting point of mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg c).
