Explanation:
Assume we have 100g of this substance. That means we would have 20.24g of Cl and 79.76g of Al. Now we can find how many moles of each we have:
= 2.25 mol of chlorine
= 0.750 mol of Al.
To form a integer ratio, do 2.25/0.75 = 2.99999 ~= 3.
So the ratio is essentially Al : Cl => 1 : 3. To the compound is possibly .
However, it says it has a molar mass of 266.64 g/mol, and since AlCl3 has a molar mass of 133.32, it must be .
Actually this molecule isn't exactly AlCl3 (which is ionic). Al2Cl6 forms a banana bond where Cl acts as a hapto-2 ligand. But that's a bit advanced. All you need to know is X = Al2Cl6
