I have an oxide material with an unknow metal. I know that the moles of the oxygen and the metal are 0.09 When I calculate the atomic weight my professors says I should get number in the 50's and 60's I don't. I get 16, which is oxygen. How do I figure out the atomic weight?

Answer 1

If you had posted the problem we might be able to help; however, I don't know what numbers you have available. If you have the mass of the metal, then moles = grams/molar mass and you can solve for molar mass.
