If a 1.271 -g sample of aluminum metal is heated in a chlorine gas atmosphere, the mass of aluminum chloride produced is $6.280 \mathrm{~g}$. Calculate the empirical formula of aluminum chloride.
Added by Michael B.
Step 1
Given: - Mass of aluminum = 1.271 g - Mass of aluminum chloride produced = 6.280 g Mass of chlorine = Mass of aluminum chloride produced - Mass of aluminum Mass of chlorine = 6.280 g - 1.271 g Mass of chlorine = 5.009 g Show more…

The molar mass of a metal (M) is $50.9 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mol} ;$ it forms a chloride of unknown composition. Electrolysis of a sample of the molten chloride with a current of 6.42 A for 23.6 minutes produces 1.20 $\mathrm{g}$ of $\mathrm{M}$ at the cathode. Determine the empirical formula of the chloride.
