The equivalent mass of chlorine is 35.5,...

The equivalent mass of chlorine is 35.5, and the molar mass of copper is 63.5. The equivalent mass of copper chloride is 99.0. Hence, formula of copper chloride is

A

`CuCl`

B

`Cu_(2)Cl`

C

`CuCl_(2)`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Eq. mass of copper chloride = 99
Eq. mass of chlorine = 35.5
`:.` Eq. mass of copper = 99-35.5 = 63.5
`:.` Valency of copper `= ("At mass of copper")/("Eq. mass of copper") = 1`
`:.` Formula of copper chloride is `CuCl`
