Question
$1.0 \text{ g}$ of a mixture of $MgCl_2$ and $NaCl$ yields $2.3 \text{ g}$ of $AgCl$ on treatment with $AgNO_3$. The percentage of $MgCl_2$ in mixture is:
Answer: A
💡 Solution & Explanation
$\text{moles } Cl = \text{moles } AgCl = 2.3 / 143.5 \approx 0.016$. <br>Let $x$ be mass of $MgCl_2$ (MW=95). $2x/95 + (1-x)/58.5 = 0.016$. <br>Solving gives $x \approx 0.475 \text{ g} \Rightarrow 47.5\%$.
