Question

In elemental chlorine, ratio of Cl35 and Cl37 is

Answer 1

Answer:

3:1

Explanation:

In chlorine gas, ratio of Cl 35 and Cl 37 is 3 : 1.

Total mass of Cl is 35.5.

Let x be fraction of Cl 37  and Cl 35 will be (1-x).  

So, 37x + 35(1-x)= 35.5  

37x + 35 -35x = 35.5  

2x= 0.5  

x = 0.25

Hence, 25% Cl37.

So, ratio is 3:1.
