Question

A volatile chloride of metal M contains 34.5% of the metal .If the density of metal chloride relative to Hydrogen is 162.5. Calculate the molecular formula of metal chloride.[M=56,CI=35.5]
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

As we know,

Molar mass = 2 x vapour density

2×162.5=325g

Mass of Cl in compound =0.655×325=213g

Mass of metal =325−213=112g

So, compound is M2 Cl 6 .
