ln an experiment it showed that 10 mL of 0.05 M solution of chloride required 10 mL of 0.1 M solution of AgNO3, which of the following will be the formula of the chloride (X stands for the symbol of the element other than chlorine)
(a) X2Cl2
(b) XCl2
(c) XCl4
(d) X2Cl
The correct option is : (b) XCl2
Explanation :
Millimoles of solution of chloride
= 0.05 x 10 = 0.5
Millimoles of AgNO3 solution = 10 x 0.1 = 1
So, the millimoles of AgNO3 are double than the chloride solution.
.. . XCl2 + 2AgNO3 → 2AgCl + X(NO3)2
