Using the apparatus shown, 4.40 g of an unknown carbonate \(M\text{CO}_3\) (where \(M\) is a metal of atomic mass between 20 and 70) is reacted with excess hydrochloric acid. The carbon dioxide produced is collected over water at \(298\) K and \(760\) mmHg; after correcting for the water‑vapour pressure of \(23.8\) mmHg, the dry \(\text{CO}_2\) volume is \(0.860\) L. After the reaction, \(1.00\) g of solid residue remains. Identify the metal \(M\) and give its atomic mass to the nearest whole number.

Answer Options

A. Potassium, atomic mass ≈ 39
B. Strontium, atomic mass ≈ 88
C. Magnesium, atomic mass ≈ 24
Correct Answer D. Calcium, atomic mass ≈ 40
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
Calcium, atomic mass ≈ 40
