A 5.71 g of an unknown metal sulfate with formula M2SO4, was dissolved in water and treated with excess aqueous barium nitrate, resulting in the precipitation of all the sulfate ions as barium sulfate. The precipitate was collected, dried, and found to weigh 3.68 g. Determine the atomic mass of M, and identify M

8

explanation:

each principal energy level above the first contains one s orbital and three p orbitals. a set of three p orbitals, called the p sublevel, can hold a maximum of six electrons. therefore, the second level can contain a maximum of eight electrons - that is, two in the s orbital and 6 in the three p orbitals.
