    A transition metal M forms a volatile chloride which has a vapour density of 94.8. If it contains 74.75% of chlorine the formula of the metal chloride will be

    A) \[MC{{l}_{3}}\]

    B) \[MC{{l}_{2}}\]

    C) \[MC{{l}_{4}}\]

    D) \[MC{{l}_{5}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] 74.75% of chlorine means 74.75g chlorine is present in \[100g\] of metal chloride.
    Weight of metal = \[100g-74.75g\]\[=25.25g\]
    Equivalent weight \[=\frac{weight\text{ }of\text{ }metal}{weight\text{ }of\text{ }chlorine}\times 35.5\]\[=\frac{25.25}{74.25}\times 35.5=12\]
    Valency of metal \[=\frac{2\times V.D.}{Equivalent\text{ }wt.\text{ }of\text{ }metal+35.5}\]\[=\frac{2\times 94.8}{12+35.5}=4\]
    \[\therefore \] Formula of compound \[=MC{{l}_{4}}\]
