Find the molar quantity of #BCl_3# in #1.51*g# of this substance. This molar quantity is also the molar quantity of boron.

Explanation:

Molar quantity of #BCl_3#:

#(1.51*g)/((10.81+3xx35.45)*g*mol^-1)# #=# #?? 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?
