A student obtains a mixture of the chlorides of two unknown metals, X and Z. The percent by mass of X and the percent by mass of

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

<u>Answer:</u> The additional information that is helpful in calculating the mole percent of XCl(s) and ZCl(s) is the molar masses of Z and X

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the mole percent of a substance, we use the equation:

$\text{Mole percent of a substance}=\frac{\text{Moles of a substance}}{\text{Total moles}}\times 100$

Mass percent means that the mass of a substance is present in 100 grams of mixture

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

We require the molar masses of Z and X to calculate the mole percent of Z and X respectively

Hence, the additional information that is helpful in calculating the mole percent of XCl(s) and ZCl(s) is the molar masses of Z and X
