In an experiment it showed that 10 ml of 0.05M 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):Stoichiometry -
Stoichiometry deals with measurements of reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
- wherein
aA (g) + bB (g) → cC (g) + dD (g)
Here, ‘a’ moles of A(g) reacts with ‘b’ moles of B(g) to give ‘c’ mole of C(g) and ‘d’ moles of D(g)
No. of moles of AgNO3=10-3 mol
No. of moles the chloride= 0.5 x 10-3 mol
Suppose the formula for the chloride is XCln then moles of chloride ion=n x 0.5 x 10-3
Reaction goes as follows:
Then, going by stoichiometry we get
n x 0.5 x 10-3= 10-3
n=2
Therefore, formula is XCl2
