A metal \(M\) (specific heat 0.16 ) forms a metal chloride with \(65 \%\) chlorine present in it. The formula of the metal chloride will be
- A MCI
- B \(M C l_{2}\)
- C \(M \mathrm{Cl}_{3}\)
- D \(M C l_{4}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(M C l_{2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given, specific heat \(=0.16\) Let metal chloride be \(M \mathrm{Cl}_{x}\) then. \(\frac{6.4}{\text { specific heat }}=\) Atomic weight of metal \(\frac{6.4}{0.16}=\) Atomic weight of metal Atomic weight \(=40\) 40 is the atomic weight of calcium. According to question, metal…
