Mol. wt. of metal chloride$=50\times 2=100$
Let metal chloride be metal chlorine then
Equivalent of metal = Equivalents of chlorine$\text{=}\frac{{\text{W}}_{\text{m}}}{{\text{E}}_{\text{m}}}\text{=}\frac{{\text{W}}_{\text{Cl}}}{{\text{E}}_{\text{Cl}}}\text{or}\frac{\text{29}}{\text{E}}\text{=}\frac{\text{71}}{\text{35}\text{.5}}$
$\mathrm{E}=\frac{29}{2}$
Now$\mathrm{a}+35.5\mathrm{n}=100$
or$\text{n}\text{×}\text{E}\text{+}\text{35}\text{×}\text{5n}\text{=}\text{100}$
$\therefore \mathrm{}\mathrm{n}=2$
Therefore,$\mathrm{a}=2\times \mathrm{E}=2\times \left(\frac{29}{2}\right)=29\mathrm{}$
