Explanation:

Step1: Find molar masses

The molar mass of Si is $M_{Si}=28.09\ g/mol$, and the molar mass of Cl is $M_{Cl} = 35.45\ g/mol$. For $SiCl_{2}I_{2}$, the molar mass of the compound $M$ is calculated as follows:

$$M = M_{Si}+2M_{Cl}+2M_{I}$$

$$M=28.09 + 2\times35.45+2\times126.90$$

$$M=28.09+70.90 + 253.80$$

$$M = 352.79\ g/mol$$

Step2: Calculate mass - percent of Cl

The total mass of Cl in the compound is $m_{Cl}=2\times35.45 = 70.90\ g/mol$.
The mass - percent of Cl is given by the formula \(\text{Mass}\%=\frac{m_{Cl}}{M}\times100\%\)

$$ \text{Mass}\%=\frac{70.90}{352.79}\times 100\%$$

$$ \text{Mass}\% \approx 20.1\%$$

Answer:

20.1%
