A scrupulous metallic element M has a heat capacity of 0.36 J * g^-1 * K^-1. It form an oxide that contains 2.90 g of M per gram of oxygen.
(a) Utilizing the law of Dulong and Petit (Cp x M = 25 J per mole per Kelvin), approximate the molar mass of the metal M in g/mol.
(b) As of the composition of the oxide 2n90 g M/g O as well as the molar mass of oxygen 16.0 g/mol, find out the mass of M that combines with each mole of oxygen.
(c) Utilize your estimate of the atomic mass from (a) and the information from (b) to find out the empirical formula of the oxide the moles of M that combine with each mole of O.
(d) Now that you know the composition of the oxide as well as its formula, explain what is the accurate value of the atomic mass of the metal M? Explain what is the identity of M?
