Question

I need help on this problem. And please only round off on the final answer.

A student determined the identity of an unknown metal he found in the lab by performing the ideal gas
experiment. He used 0.0521 g of the metal and excess amount of 6 M HCI. The metal is known to react with HCl
in the following manner:
M(s) + 4 HCl(aq) → MCI4(aq) + 2H2(aq)
The experiment was conducted in a room with a temperature of 29.0°C and normal atmospheric pressure (1
atm). At this temperature, the vapor pressure of water is 30.0 mmHg. When the reaction had ceased, the height of
the water column was measured to be 6.30 cm below the external water level, and the volume occupied by the
gas was 29.3 mL.
А.
Calculate the pressure of trapped air (in mmHg).
mmHg
B. What is the pressure of H2 (in atm) inside the eudiometer?
atm
С.
What is the number of millimoles of the metal used in the reaction?
mmol
D.
What is the identity (chemical symbol) of the metal? Assume that the metal used was 100% pure.
A.
