Question

11.2 of the mixture of MCl (volatile ) and NaCl gave 28.7g of white ppt with an excess of AgNO3 solution. 11.2 g of the same mixture on heating gave that on passing into AgNO3 solution gave 14.35g of white ppt. Hence:

A
ionic mass of M+ is 18

Solution

The correct options are
A ionic mass of M+ is 18
B mixture has equal mol fraction of MCl and NaCl
Comparing the 2 experiments shows that exactly twice as much was produced by the mixture, as by MCl alone. Since both formulas only contain 1 atom of Cl, it shows that mixture contains an equal no.of moles of both compounds. So, their mole fraction would both be the answer to the problem, it is (b). So, (c) is not possible.
However just to confirm 14.35gAgCl=0.01 moles, so 11.2gMCl must contain 0.01 moles of Cl, or 3.545g$
Hence, gram of M=11.23.545=7.655=0.1molm+
So, M+ weights 76.55g. This rules out (A) and (B)
