Using the following information, identify the strong electrolyte whose general formula is [mathrm{M}_{x}(mathrm{~A})_{y} cdot z mathrm{H}_{2} mathrm{O}]

Question:

Using the following information, identify the strong electrolyte whose general formula is

\[\mathrm{M}_{x}(\mathrm{~A})_{y} \cdot z \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\]

Ignore the effect of interionic attractions in the solution. a. \(\mathrm{A}^{n-}\) is a common oxyanion. When \(30.0 \mathrm{mg}\) of the anhydrous sodium salt containing this oxyanion \(\left(\mathrm{Na}_{n} \mathrm{~A}ight.\), where \(n=1,2\), or 3\()\) is reduced, \(15.26 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(0.02313 \mathrm{M}\) reducing agent is required to react completely with the \(\mathrm{Na}_{n} \mathrm{~A}\) present. Assume a

\(1: 1\) mole ratio in the reaction.

b. The cation is derived from a silvery white metal that is relatively expensive. The metal itself crystallizes in a body-centered cubic unit cell and has an atomic radius of \(198.4 \mathrm{pm}\). The solid, pure metal has a density of \(5.243 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{cm}^{3}\). The oxidation number of \(\mathrm{M}\) in the strong electrolyte in question is +3 .

c. When \(33.45 \mathrm{mg}\) of the compound is present (dissolved) in \(10.0 \mathrm{~mL}\) of aqueous solution at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the solution has an osmotic pressure of 558 torr.
