Explanation:

Given: Carbon: 16.27=

12

16.27

=1.355

Hydrogen: 0.67=

1

0.67

=0.67

Chlorine: 72.2=

35.5

72.2

=2.03

Oxygen: 10.86=

16

10.86

=0.67

Mole ratio C:H:Cl:O=2:1:3:1

Emperical formula= C

2

HCl

3

O

E.F. weight= 24+1+106.5+16=147.5

Given, vapour density= 73.75

Molecular weight= 2×V.D

=2×73.75

=147.5 .

∴ Molecular Formula C

2

HCl

3

O
