    Beryllium gives a compound \[\text{X}\] with the following percentage composition: Be Molecular weight of \[-61%,\,N-37.8%,\,Cl-48%,\,H-8.1%\] \[\text{X}\] is \[\text{148 g mo}{{\text{l}}^{-}}^{\text{1}}\] and that of Be is \[\text{9 g mo}{{\text{l}}^{\text{-1}}}.\] The molecular formula of the compound is

    A) \[\text{Be}{{\text{N}}_{\text{4}}}\text{C}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}}\]

    B) \[~\text{Be}{{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}}\text{Cl}{{\text{H}}_{6}}\]

    C) \[\text{Be}{{\text{N}}_{\text{4}}}\text{C}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{H}}_{6}}\]

    D) \[\text{Be}{{\text{N}}_{\text{4}}}\text{Cl}{{\text{H}}_{\text{8}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                   
    Atom Atomic weight (A) % %/A Simplest ratio
    Be 9 6.1 0.68 1
    N 14 37.8 2.70 4
    \[\text{Cl}\] 35.5 48.0 1.35 2
    H 1 8.1 8.10 12
                    \[\therefore \] The molecular formula is \[\text{Be}{{\text{N}}_{\text{4}}}\text{C}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}}\]
