Question

One mole of chlorine combines with certain weight of a metal giving 111g pf its chloride

Answer 1

One mole of Chlorine combines with certain weight of a metal giving 111g of its chloride. the same amount of metal can displace 2g of hydrogen from an acid. what is the atomic weight of the metal? Therefore, our metal has 2+ charge as Ca, Mg etc or 2 moles of metal like Na, K etc

Answer 2

Let, metal chloride is

MClx.Mass of Cl2=1mol=71g

So, compound is MCl2.

mass of metal chloride =111g

mass of metal =111−7=40g

Atomic mass of metal =40 g.

Hope it helps ❤️
