39.0\text{39.0}

Step-by-step solution

7 steps
  1. Calculate the molar mass of sulphuric acid (H2SO4H_2SO_4).

    Given atomic masses: H = 1.0, S = 32.0, O = 16.0.

    Molar mass of H2SO4=(2×1.0)+32.0+(4×16.0)=2.0+32.0+64.0=98.0 g/mol\text{Molar mass of } H_2SO_4 = (2 \times 1.0) + 32.0 + (4 \times 16.0) = 2.0 + 32.0 + 64.0 = 98.0 \text{ g/mol}
  2. Calculate the molar concentration of the sulphuric acid solution.

    Given concentration of H2SO4=4.9 g/dm3H_2SO_4 = 4.9 \text{ g/dm}^3.

    Molar concentration of H2SO4=Mass concentrationMolar mass=4.9 g/dm398.0 g/mol=0.05 mol/dm3\text{Molar concentration of } H_2SO_4 = \frac{\text{Mass concentration}}{\text{Molar mass}} = \frac{4.9 \text{ g/dm}^3}{98.0 \text{ g/mol}} = 0.05 \text{ mol/dm}^3
  3. Calculate the moles of H2SO4H_2SO_4 used in the neutralization.

    Volume of H2SO4H_2SO_4 used = 12 cm3=121000 dm3=0.012 dm312 \text{ cm}^3 = \frac{12}{1000} \text{ dm}^3 = 0.012 \text{ dm}^3.

    Moles of H2SO4=Molar concentration×Volume=0.05 mol/dm3×0.012 dm3=0.0006 mol\text{Moles of } H_2SO_4 = \text{Molar concentration} \times \text{Volume} = 0.05 \text{ mol/dm}^3 \times 0.012 \text{ dm}^3 = 0.0006 \text{ mol}
  4. Determine the moles of MOH that reacted using the stoichiometric ratio.

    The balanced chemical equation is: 2MOHaq+H2SO4→M2SO4+2H2O2MOH_{aq} + H_2SO_4 \rightarrow M_2SO_4 + 2H_2O.
    From the equation, 2 moles of MOH react with 1 mole of H2SO4H_2SO_4.

    Moles of MOH=2×Moles of H2SO4=2×0.0006 mol=0.0012 mol\text{Moles of MOH} = 2 \times \text{Moles of } H_2SO_4 = 2 \times 0.0006 \text{ mol} = 0.0012 \text{ mol}
  5. Calculate the molar concentration of the MOH solution.

    Volume of MOH solution used = 6 cm3=61000 dm3=0.006 dm36 \text{ cm}^3 = \frac{6}{1000} \text{ dm}^3 = 0.006 \text{ dm}^3.

    Molar concentration of MOH=Moles of MOHVolume of MOH solution=0.0012 mol0.006 dm3=0.2 mol/dm3\text{Molar concentration of MOH} = \frac{\text{Moles of MOH}}{\text{Volume of MOH solution}} = \frac{0.0012 \text{ mol}}{0.006 \text{ dm}^3} = 0.2 \text{ mol/dm}^3
  6. Calculate the molar mass of MOH.

    The initial MOH solution was prepared by dissolving 11.2 g of MOH in enough solvent to make one litre (1 dm31 \text{ dm}^3) of solution.
    Since the concentration is 0.2 mol/dm30.2 \text{ mol/dm}^3, one litre of solution contains 0.2 moles of MOH.

    Molar mass of MOH=Mass of MOHMoles of MOH=11.2 g0.2 mol=56 g/mol\text{Molar mass of MOH} = \frac{\text{Mass of MOH}}{\text{Moles of MOH}} = \frac{11.2 \text{ g}}{0.2 \text{ mol}} = 56 \text{ g/mol}
  7. Calculate the relative atomic mass of M.

    The formula of the hydroxide is MOH.
    Molar mass of MOH = Relative atomic mass of M + Relative atomic mass of O + Relative atomic mass of H.

    56=M+16.0+1.056 = M + 16.0 + 1.0 56=M+17.056 = M + 17.0 M=56−17.0M = 56 - 17.0 M=39.0M = 39.0

    The relative atomic mass of M is 39.0\text{39.0}.
