What mass of chloral hydrate would contain 2.4 g Cl?

Mass =              g

Expert Solution
Step 1

The chemical formula of chloral hydrate is = H2C3Cl3O.

Therefore in one mole chloral hydrate there is total three moles of Cl present.

Now we have to calculate the molar mass of chloral hydrate as well as three moles of chlorine.

Molar Mass Calculation Method :    Molecules are formed when two or more number of atoms chemically bond together with proper stoichiometry. To determine molar mass of the molecule first we have to  find out the atomic masses of each individual atom in the periodic table. Then multiply the atomic mass of each individual atom with its number of atoms present in the molecule then add all.
