Problem of the week - 20/05/2013
« on: May 20, 2013, 02:03:14 PM »
When a sample of a rose red, rare mineral is reacted with 115.8 mL of 0.1 molar HCl, number of mLs of produced carbon dioxide (measured at 0°C and 1 atm) is identical to the molar mass of produced chloride. Identify the metal, name the mineral.

I think it's Rhodocrosite (MnCO3), but the calculations don't add up. 

MnCO3 + 2HCl  :rarrow: MnCl2 + CO2 + H2O

115.8 L of 0.1 molar HCl will produce .1289 mL CO2; whereas, the molar mass of MnCl2 is 125.9 g/mol.

Calculations don't add up, because it is not the correct answer. But you are not that far.

Yes. But Schrödinger was first :)
