JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 1. Some basic concept of chemistry
A metal chloride contains \(55.0 \%\) of chlorine by weight.\(100\,mL\) vapours of the metal chloride at \(STP\) weigh \(0.57\,g\). The molecular formula of the metal chloride is \(...\).(Given : Atomic mass of chlorine is \(35.5\,u\) )
- A \(MCl _2\)
- B \(MCl _4\)
- C \(MCl _3\)
- D \(MCl\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(MCl _2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Molecular. weight of metal chloride \(=\frac{0.57}{100} \times 22700\) \(=129.39\) weight of \(Cl =129.39 \times 0.55\) \(=71.1645\) \(\therefore\) Mole of \(Cl =\frac{71.1645}{35.5} \cong 2\) Hence \(MCl _2\)
