Question

Which sample contains the greatest number of moles of Cl?

(a) 3.8 mol HCl

(b) 1.7 mol \(\mathrm{CH}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\)

(c) 4.2 mol \(\mathrm{NaClO}_{3}\)

(d) 2.2 mol \(\mathrm{Mg}\left(\mathrm{ClO}_{4}\right)_{2}\)

Solution

Problem 62P

Which sample contains the greatest number of moles of Cl?

(a) 3.8 mol HCl

(b) 1.7 mol CH2Cl2

(c) 4.2 mol NaClO3

(d) 2.2 mol Mg(ClO4)2

                                                                  Step by Step Solution

Step 1 of 4

a)

From the given,

Moles of  HCl  present in a sample = 3.8 mol

One mole of HCl contains one mole of “Cl” atoms.

Let’s calculate the number of moles of chlorine present in the 3.8 mol of HCl.

                                         

Hence,3.8 mol of “Cl” atoms are present in the given sample.
