Anyone can contribute an answer, even non-tutors.
chemistry but urgent halp
1 M2CO3 + 2 HCl ==> 1 MCl2 + 1 CO2 + 1 H2O
560 cm3 CO2 ==> 560/22400 mol of CO2 (because 1 mol of any gas occupies 22400 cm3 at standard temperature and pressure - note, standard and not room)
560 cm3 CO2 ==> 0.025 mol CO2
Equivalent mass of M2CO3 in 0.025 mol M2CO3 is 2.65 g.
So, relative mass of M2CO3
= 2.65 / 0.025
= 106
Subtract away 12 (for the carbon atom) and 3 x 16 (for the three oxygen atoms), we get 46 for the two M atoms.
[M is sodium if you work it out]
So, percentage by mass of metal M
= 46/106 x 100%
= 43.396...%
~ 43.4%
