Options:

A) $M C l_{3}$

B) $M C l_{2}$

C) $M C l_{4}$

D) $M C l_{5}$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] 74.75% of chlorine means 74.75g chlorine is present in $100 g$ of metal chloride. Weight of metal = $100 g - 74.75 g$ $= 25.25 g$ Equivalent weight $= \frac{w e i g h t o f m e t a l}{w e i g h t o f c h l o r i n e} \times 35.5$ $= \frac{25.25}{74.25} \times 35.5 = 12$ Valency of metal $= \frac{2 \times V . D .}{E q u i v a l e n t w t . o f m e t a l + 35.5}$ $= \frac{2 \times 94.8}{12 + 35.5} = 4$

$∴$ Formula of compound $= M C l_{4}$
