Answer:
THE MOLAR MASS OF XCL2 IS 400 g/mol
THE MOLAR MASS OF YCL2 IS 250 g/mol.
Explanation:
We derive the molar mass of XCl2 and YCl2 by recalling the molar mass formula when both mass and the number of moles are known.
Number of moles = mass / molar mass
Molar mass = mass / number of moles.
For XCl2,
mass = 100 g
number of moles = 0.25 mol
Thus, molar mass = mass / number of moles
Molar mass = 100 g / 0.25 mol
Molar mass = 400 g/mol.
For YCl2,
mass = 125 g
number of moles = 0.50 mol
Molar mass = 125 g / 0.50 mol
Molar mass = 250 g/mol.
Accordingly, the molar masses for XCl2 and YCl2 are 400 g/mol and 250 g/mol, respectively.
