This question doesn't make sense. You may mean what is the molecular weight of the chloride ion. In that case it's about 35.5 grams per mole. A mole is a number (called Avagadro's number) that is representative of the amount of Carbon atoms in 12 grams of carbon12. Since different elements weigh different amounts, it's a way to compare the number of molecules or atoms present in a mixture or compound. But for simplicity's sake, just think of it as a number you express with a word--like a dozen means twelve. However, a mole is a very large number. It's 6.022 × 1023 or 602,200,000,000,000,000,000,000. So to have one mole of Hot Dogs, you would have 6.022 × 1023 hot dogs. The molecular weight is expressed in grams per mole. So the chloride ion (Cl-) has a molecular weight of 35.5 which means that one mole of chloride ions weighs 35.5 grams. You can then use this molecular weight to figure out how many moles of an element are in a certain number of grams. If you have 71 grams of chloride, you know that you have 2 moles by multiplying the amount of grams (71g) × 1 mol/35.5g = 2 mols

How many neutrons are present in 50 atoms of Cl that have a 50-50 mixture of Cl-35 and Cl-37?

In a 50-50 mixture of Cl-35 and Cl-37, each Cl atom will have an average atomic mass of 36.5. Since Cl has 18 neutrons in Cl-35 and 20 neutrons in Cl-37, the average number of neutrons in each Cl atom will be 19. Therefore, there will be a total of 950 neutrons in 50 atoms of Cl.
