JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2018 - 16th April Morning Slot - No. 11)

An unknown chlorohydrocarbon has 3.55% of chlorine. If each molecule of the hydrocarbon has one chlorine atom only; chlorine atoms present in 1 g of chlorohydrocarbon are :
(Atomic wt. of Cl = 35.5 u; Avogadro constant = 6.023 $$ \times $$ 1023 mol-1)
6.023 $$ \times $$ 1020
6.023 $$ \times $$ 109
6.023 $$ \times $$ 1021
6.023 $$ \times $$ 1023

Explanation

%    of   Cl  =  3.55

$$\therefore\,\,\,\,$$ In 100 g chlorohydrocarbon 3.55 gm Cl present.

In 1 gm chlorohydrocarbon Cl present

= $${{3.55} \over {100}}$$

= 0.0355 gm

$$\therefore\,\,\,\,$$ No of Moles of Cl = $${{0.0355} \over {35.5}}$$

= 0.001 mole

$$\therefore\,\,\,\,$$ no of Cl atoms = 0.001 $$ \times $$ 6.023 $$ \times $$ 103

= 6.023 $$ \times $$ 1020
