1.	Equivalent weight of element X is 3. If vapour density of volatile chloride of X is 77, Find out the moleculer formula of chloride.
Answer» SOLUTION :Equivalent weight of chloride of X= Equivalent weight of Cl +equivalent weight of X = 35.5+3=38.5 Moleculer weight of chloride = vapour density `xx2=77xx2=154` `"Valency of the element" X=(154)/(38.5)=4` Chlorine is taken as monovalent, SINCE it is chloride MOLECULAR formula of chloride of X is `XCl_(4)`
