A lot of verbiage, most which is unimportant.
.....PtClx ==> Pt + xCl2
I....1.00.....0.....0
E....-1.00..0.5780..(1.00-0.5780)
.......0....0.5780...0.422g
So if I used twice as much PtClx I would expect twice as much Cl2 or 0.844 g.
a 0.2000 grams sample of aluminum metal is added to a solution containing 1.0000grams of an unknown compound made of platinum and chloride ion. the reaction results in the formation of aluminum chloride and platinum metal. when the reaction is complete, unreacted aluminum remains and this unreacted aluminum is consumed by reaction with hydrochloric acid. after washing and drying the, the mass of platinum metal is recovered is 0.5780.
if a 2.000 gram sample of the platinum chloride had been used, how many grams of chlorine would you expect it to contain?
