Hi all,
I'm currently stuck on a Gas question:
Determine the GroupIIA metal cation in a metal carbonate that decomposed into the metal oxide and carbon dioxide. 0.211 grams of the metal carbonate decomposed in a 285mL vessel, Carbon dioxide was collected over water at 25.00C and exerted a pressure of 93.6mmHg.
How can I identify this metal? I tried calculating the density of the gas; I got 0.123 atm, but I'm not sure, based on the wording of the question, if I am dealing with partial pressure or total. I can't seem to get an answer if I assume it is CO2partial, which is how the question is phrased. I tried mole fractions, but I don't have Ntotal.
Please H_elp Final tomorrow!
