A 1.268 g sample of a metal carbonate (MCO3)was treated with100.00 mL of 0.1083 M sulfuric acid (H2SO4), yielding CO2 gas andan aqueous solution of the metal sulfate (MSO4). The solution wasboiled to remove all the dissolved CO2 and was then titrated with1.241×10−2 MNaOH. A 91.86 mL volume of NaOH was requiredto neutralize the excess H2SO4.
A) What is the identity of the metal M?
B) How many liters of CO2 gas were produced if the density ofCO2 is 1.799 g/L?
