1.5 ~g of CdCl ₂ was found to contain 0.9 ~g of Cd . Calculate the atomic weight of Cd.
Options
- A118
- B112
- C106.5
- D53.25
Correct answer
C. 106.5
Step-by-step solution
aligned % of Cd in CdCl ₂= & 0.9 1.5 100 & =60 % aligned Therefore, % of Cl ₂ in CdCl ₂=100-60=40 % aligned & 40 % part ( Cl ₂ ) has atomic weight & =2 35.5=71.0 & 60 % part (Cd) has atomic weight & = 71.0 60 40 & =106.5 & aligned
