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
