Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The number of chlorine atoms required to make 18 iron(III) chloride particles should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The ratio of amount of any two atoms involved in a compound in terms of number of atoms is said to be ratio of atoms in the compound which is fixed ratio for a compound.
Answer to Problem 13STP
The number of chlorine atoms required to make 18 iron(III) chloride particles is (d)
Explanation of Solution
The given compound is iron(III) chloride, for which 2 iron atoms combine with 6 chlorine atoms to form 2 particles of iron(III) chloride. So, the ratio of number of atoms of iron and chlorine in iron(III) chloride is 1:3 and the ratio of number of chlorine atoms to iron(III) chloride is 3:1. Thus, the number of chlorine atoms required to make 18 iron(III) chloride particles will be:
Hence, the number of chlorine atoms required to make 18 iron(III) chloride particles is
