In a reaction of an unknown metal that follows the genericreaction (unbalanced) given below,
M(s) + HCl(aq) → MCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)
a. 0.0900 g of metal is reacted with 50.00 mLof 0.100 M HCl. Once the reaction is complete, the reaction mixtureis titrated with 0.1375 M NaOH. It requires 16.35 mL of NaOH toreach the endpoint. What is the molecular weight of the metal thatwas reacted?
b. What is the identity of the metal that wasreacted?
