2.00−g sample of a metal x (that is known to form x2+ ions) was added to 0.100 l of 0.500 m h2so4. after all the metal had reacted, the remaining acid required 0.0637 l of 0.500 m naoh solution for neutralization. calculate the molar mass of the metal and identify the elemen

the molar mass is 40 and the metal is Calcium

Explanation:

X + H2SO4=X2SO4 + H2

The mole ratio is 1:1

no of mole of H2SO4= conc(M) × Vol(L)

=0.1×0.5

=0.05 mol

from the balanced chemical equation of the reaction

no of mole of 'X' = no of mole of H2SO4

thus no of mole of X=0.05 mol

Also, no of mole=mass/molar mass

molar mass of 'X'=mol/mass

=2/0.05

=40

the answer is 0.42 is that is an option. this question provides no info
