MCQ
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 $35.5\,u$ )
  • $MCl _2$
  • B
    $MCl _4$
  • C
    $MCl _3$
  • D
    $MCl$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$MCl _2$
a
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 $MCl _2$
