MCQ
Equivalent weight of a bivalent metal is $37.2$. The molecular weight of its chloride is
  • A
    $412.2$
  • B
    $216$
  • $145.4$
  • D
    $108.2$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$145.4$
c
(c) Equivalent weight of bivalent metal $= 37.2$

$\therefore $ Atomic weight of metal $ = 37.2 \times 2 = 74.4$

$\therefore $ Formula of chloride $ = MC{l_2}$

Hence, molecular weight of chloride

$(MC{l_2}) = 74.4 + 2 \times 35.5 = 145.4$
