1 A student investigates the reaction between an unknown Group 2 metal, X, and
hydrochloric acid:
(a) A 0.240 g sample of metal X produces 120 cm³ of hydrogen gas at RTP.
(i) Calculate the amount, in mol, of H₂ produced.
mole of H₂............................[1]
(ii) Use the equation to determine the amount, in mol, of metal X that reacted.
mole of metal X............................[1]
(iii) Calculate the molar mass of X and identify the metal.
molar mass of X........................
metal ............................[2]

(b) The student then dissolves 5.30 g of XCl₂ in water to make 250 cm³ of solution.
(i) Calculate the molar mass of XCl₂ using your answer from part (a).
molar mass of XCl₂............................[1]
(ii) Calculate the concentration, in mol dm⁻³, of the XCl₂ solution.
concentration of XCl₂............................[2]
(c) A hydrated form of XCl₂ has the formula XCl₂•xH₂O and a molar mass of 219.1 g
mol⁻¹. Calculate the value of x.
value of x............................[2]
