A piece of an unknown metal reacts with excess hydrochloric acid according to the equation \(\text{M} + n\,\text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{MCl}_{n} + \frac{n}{2}\,\text{H}_{2}\). A 1.20 g sample of the metal produces \(0.450\ \text{L}\) of hydrogen gas at STP. Determine the oxidation state \(n\) of the metal in its chloride and estimate its atomic mass (to the nearest whole number).

Answer Options

A. oxidation state +1; atomic mass ≈ 55 g mol⁻¹
B. oxidation state +2; atomic mass ≈ 70 g mol⁻¹
C. oxidation state +3; atomic mass ≈ 65 g mol⁻¹
Correct Answer D. oxidation state +2; atomic mass ≈ 60 g mol⁻¹
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
oxidation state +2; atomic mass ≈ 60 g mol⁻¹
