Find the molar quantity of BCl3 in 1.51g of this substance. This molar quantity is also the molar quantity of boron.

Explanation:

Molar quantity of BCl3:

1.51g(10.81+3×35.45)gmol1 = ??mol.

This molar quantity is precisely the same as the molar quantity of boron, because for every mol boron trichloride, there are 1 mol of boron of 3 mol of chloride. Is this clear?

If this is clear, then how many moles of Cl are present?
