Emily found a piece of metal. She doesn't know what kind of metal it is. What might she measure in lab to find out what type of metal it is? Is this a physical or chemical property?

Emily can measure the density of the piece of metal to find out what it is. Density is a physical property.

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by dividing its mass by its volume. No chemical reaction is involved in measuring the mass nor the volume; therefore, density is a physical property.

166 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the neutralization reaction

H₂A + 2 NaOH ⇒ Na₂A + 2 H₂O

Step 2: Calculate the reacting moles of NaOH

48.3 mL of 0.0700 M NaOH react.

0.0483 L × 0.0700 mol/L = 3.38 × 10⁻³ mol

Step 3: Calculate the reacting moles of H₂A

The molar ratio of H₂A to NaOH is 1:2. The reacting moles of H₂A are 1/2 × 3.38 × 10⁻³ mol = 1.69 × 10⁻³ mol.

Step 4: Calculate the molar mass of H₂A

1.69 × 10⁻³ moles of H₂A have a mass of 0.281 g. The molar mass of H₂A is:

M = 0.281 g / 1.69 × 10⁻³ mol = 166 g/mol
