detailed solution

Correct option is A

Amount of AgCl obtained, n=mM=1.435g143.5gmol1=0.01mol

Let x be the mass of FeCl3, then

Amount of FeCl3 =x162gmol1 and  Amount of AlCl3=0.50gx133.5gmol1

Hence,  3x162gmol1+0.50gx133.5gmol1=0.01mol

Solving for x, we get

x=1(28.5)0.01×162×133.5381g=0.3126g
