Given :
Mass of given magnesium chloride, m = 256 g.
To Find :
How many grams of chloride are there in 256 g of magnesium chloride.
Solution :
Molecular formula of magnesium chloride is [tex]MgCl_2[/tex].
Molecular formula of [tex]MgCl_2[/tex] is, M = 95.211 g/mol .
Mass of chlorine in 1 mol of [tex]MgCl_2[/tex] is , m = 35.5 × 2 = 71 g.
So, amount of chlorine in 256 gram [tex]MgCl_2[/tex] :
[tex]m =\dfrac{71\times 256}{95.211}\\\\m = 190.90\ g[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
