A mineral contains only a metal, M, and sulfur. If analysis indicates that a 4.3 g sample of the mineral contains 1.56 g of M, what mass of M (g) is contained in 396 g of the mineral? Enter your answer in decimal format with two decimal places and no units.

143.66 grams of M (g) is contained in 396 g of the mineral

Explanation:

Given : mineral contains metal M and sulphur

Mass of mineral = 4.3 g

Mass of metal M in mineral = 1.56 g

Thus if 4.3 gram of mineral contains metal = 1.56 g

Using unitary method for solving this :

1 g of mineral contains metal =

396 g of mineral contains metal =

Thus 143.66 grams of M (g) is contained in 396 g of the mineral

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
