4.08 g of a mixture of BaO and an unknown carbonate MCO₃ was heated strongly. The residue weighed 3.64 g. This was dissolved in 100 ml of 1 N HCl. The excess acid required 16 ml of 2.5 N NaOH solution for complete neutralization. Identify the metal M. (At wt. H = 1, C = 12, O = 16, Cl = 35.5, Ba = 138)

Linear overlap of two atomic p-orbitals leads to a sigma bond.

An organic compound C_xH_2yO_y was burnt with twice the amount of oxygen needed for complete combustion of CO₂ and H₂O. The hot gases when cooled to 0^oC and 1 atm pressure, measured 2.24 litres. The water collected during cooling weighed 0.9 g. The vapour pressure of pure water at 20^oC is 17.5 mm Hg and is lowered by 0.104 mm when 50 g of the organic compound are dissolved in 1000 g of water. Give the molecular formula of the organic compound.
