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 Z in the mixture is known. Which of the following additional information is most helpful in calculating the mole percent of XCl(s) and of ZCl(s) in the mixture:.
a) the number of isotopes of Cl
b) the Molar masses of Z and X
c) The density of either XCL(s) or ZCl(s)
d) The eprcent by mass of Cl in the mixture

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

Explanation:

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

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:

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

the correct answer would be d. hope this !
