Answer:

<em>mass of chlorine gas required is 118 kg.</em>

Explanation:

Total mass of the drug (Cisplatin) required = 500 kg

For the drug PtCl2(NH3)2, we first find the molar mass of the compound.

The molar mass of the drug is the total of all the molar mass of the elements in the drug

molar mass of Pt (platinum) in the drug = 195.078 g/mol

molar mass of chlorine (Cl) in the drug = 2 x (35.453 g/mol) = 70.908 g/mol

molar mass of ammonia (NH3) in the drug = 2 x (17.031 g/mol) = 34.062 g/mol

Total molar mass of the drug = 195.078 g/mol + 70.908 g/mol + 34.062 g/mol = 300.048 g/mol

fractional composition of chlorine in the drug = 70.908/300.048 = 0.236

mass of chlorine required for 500 kg of the drug = 0.236 x 500 =<em> 118 kg</em>
