Answer 1

Answer:

CHCL3

Explanation: Carbon      hydrogen       chlorine

percentage    10                 0.84              89.2

by mass:

 

mole :         10/12=0.83    0.84/1=0.84   89.2/35.5=2.51

mole ratio:  0.83/0.83       0.84/0.83     2.51/0.83

                   =1                     =1.0                3.0

 

Emperical formula = CHCL3
