The correct options are
A ionic mass of
M+ is
18 g/mol
B mixture has equal mole fraction of
MCl and
KCl C KCl and
MCl when separately treated with
AgNO3 solution would give same number of moles of while precipitates
The reactions are as follows:
MCl(M+35.5)+AgNO3⟶AgCl↓143.5
KCl74.5+AgNO3⟶AgCl↓143.5
Let MCl=xg, then KCl=(12.8−x)g
AgClduetoMCl=143.5x(M+35.5)
AgClduetoKCl=143.574.5(12.8−x)
143.5x(M+35.5)+143.5(12.8−x)74.5=28.7
Since MCl is volatile, in second case, AgCl is due to MCl only.
Thus,[143.5xM+35.5]=14.35
∴14.35+143.5(12.8−x)74.5=28.7
1+10(12.8−x)74.5=2
(12.8−x)=7.45
x=5.35 g
Thus, 143.5×5.35(M+35.5)=14.35
∴M=18
Thus, ionic mass of M+=18 g/mol. Hence, (a) is true and molar mass of MCl=53.5 g/mol
Thus, moles of MCl=5.3553.5=0.1
Moles of KCl=[12.80−5.3574.5]=0.1
AgCl is water insoluble.
Hence, mixture contains equal mole fraction of MCl and KCl.
