QUESTION: Problem 80P
Aluminum chloride is easily vaporized above 180°C. The gas escapes through a pinhole 0.122 times as fast as helium at the same conditions of temperature and pressure in the same apparatus. What is the molecular formula of aluminum chloride gas?
ANSWER:
Solution 80P
Here we have to find out the molecular formula of aluminium chloride gas.
Step 1
In the question it has been given that the gas escapes through a pinhole 0.122 times as fast as helium at the same conditions of temperature and pressure in the same apparatus.
Temperature = 180 oC
It is known that the empirical formula of aluminium chloride is AlCl3
