A pure sample of calcium chloride CaCl2 was found to contain 7.10 g of Cl ions. What mass of Ca ions does the sample contain? Number of moles of Cl ions= = 7.10 / 35.5 0.200

The formula CaCl2 shows that the ratio of Ca2 ions to Cl ions is 1 : 2, hence no. of moles of Ca2 ions = 0.200 / 2 = 0.100 Mass of Ca2 ions in the sample = 0.100 40 = 4.0 g 10. A metal M ionizes to give Mn ions. If atomic mass of M is 24, and 1.2 g of M ionize to give 6.02 1022 electrons, calculate n (the charge on each ion of M). No. of moles of electrons given = no. of electrons / Avogadro Number = 6.02 1022 / 6.02 1023 = 0.100 No. of moles of M ionized = 1.2 / 24 = 0.050 0.050 mole of M gives 0.100 mole of electrons on ionization. Thus 1 mole of M gives 0.100 / 0.050 = 2 moles of electrons. Since the charge on an ion of M is numerically equal to the number of moles of electrons given by 1 mole of M, each ion of M carries 2 charges, i.e. n = 2. 11.

Determine the empirical formula of B(without having to find the atomic mass of M). If mass of M in chloride B is the same as that in chloride A (i.e. 44.1 g), mass of chlorine in chloride B will be (by proportion) equal to 65.5 44.1 / 34.5 = 83.7 g Therefore for the same mass (hence same no. of moles) of M, Mass of chlorine in chloride B / Mass of chlorine in chloride A = no. of moles of chlorine in chloride B / no. of moles of chlorine in chloride A = 83.7 / 55.9 = 1.5 Since formula of chloride A is given to be MCl2, formula of chloride B should be MCl3.
