A compound contains 4.07% hydrogen,24.27% carbon and 71.65% chlorine. Itsmolar mass is 98.96 g. What are itsempirical and molecular formulas?

hello I am not sure what happened

Hydrogen Carbon Chlorine mass 4.07 24.27 71.65 RAM 1 12 35.5no. of moles 4.07/1 24.27/12 71.65/35.5 4.07 2.02 2.02divide by the 4.07/2.02 2.02/2.02 2.02least no 2 1 1

Empirical formula therefore is H2CCl

the molecular formula is (EF)n=MF

(1+1+12+35.5)=49.5......98.96/49.5=2 n=2

(H2CCl)2=H4C2Cl2

therefore the molecular formula is C2H4Cl2(dichloroethane)

I don't know please like 👍
