The mass of sulphuryl chloride which contains 14.2 g chlorine is

  1. 27 g
  2. 135 g
  3. 13.5 g
  4. 260 mg.

The molecular formula of sulfuryl chloride is :SO2Cl2
​The molar mass of sulfury chloride = 135 g/mol
​1 mol SO2Cl2 molecule contain 2 mole of Cl atoms.
Mass of 2 moles of Cl atom = 2 x molar mass of Cl
                                          = 2 mole x 35.5 g/mol
                                         = 71 g
71 g of Cl is found in 135 g SO2Cl2
So, 14.2 g Cl can be obtained from = 135 g of SO2Cl2/71 g of Cl​ x 14.2 g of Cl
​                                                       = 27 g of SO2Cl2

So the correct option is 1.
