Answer:
Case 1:
            X  =  Any element from Group I
            
                       i)    H
                       ii)   Li
                       iii)  Na
                       iv)  K
                       v)   Rb
                       vi)  Cs

            Y  =  1

Case 2:
            X  =  Any element from Group II
            
                       i)    Be
                       ii)   Mg
                       iii)  Ca
                       iv)  Sr
                       v)   Ba
                       vi)  Ra

            Y  =  2

Case 3:
            X  =  Any element from Group III
            
                       i)    B
                       ii)   Al
                       iii)  Ga
                       iv)  In
                       v)   Ti

            Y  =  3

Explanation:
                   The general formula given is as follow,

                                                    XCly

So, if X has +1 oxidation state, then it will require only one Cl atom with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 1.

If X has +2 oxidation state, then it will require two Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 2.

If X has +3 oxidation state, then it will require three Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 3.

What is the molarity of a solution that contains 2.35 g of nh3 in 0.0500 l of solution?
tankabanditka [31]
The molarity is the number of moles in 1 L of the solution. 
The mass of NH₃ given - 2.35 g
Molar mass of NH₃ - 17 g/mol
The number of NH₃ moles in 2.35 g - 2.35 g / 17 g/mol = 0.138 mol
The number of moles in 0.05 L solution - 0.138 mol 
Therefore number of moles in 1 L - 0.138 mol / 0.05 L x 1L = 2.76 mol
Therefore molarity of NH₃ - 2.76 M
