Answer 2

Answer:

Atomic mass of Cl = 35.46 g/mol

Explanation:

From the given information:

Carbon tetrachloride $CCl_{4}$ contains one carbon (C) and for chlorine (Cl) atoms

11.818 g of Cl combines with 1.000 g of C-12

Moles of C :

= $\frac{Mass\ C}{Atomic\ Mass} =\frac{1.000g}{12g/mol} =0.0833moles$

Molar ratio of C:Cl = 1:4

Therefore, moles of Cl is:

$4(0.0833) = 0.3332moles$

Atomic mass of Cl is:

$\frac{Mass\ Cl}{moles\ Cl} =\frac{11.818g}{0.3332moles} =35.46 g/mol$
