Assume there is 100 grams of the compound. The amounts of each elements would be: 47.08 g C, 6.59 g H and 46.33 g Cl. Convert them to moles.

mol C: 47.08 g * 1 mol/12 g = 3.9233
mol H: 6.59 g * 1mol/1g = 6.59
mol Cl: 46.33 g * 1mol/35.45 g = 1.3069

Divide the smallest amount of moles to each moles of the elements:
C: 3.9233/1.3069 = 3
H: 6.59/1.3069 = 5
Cl: 1.3069/1.3069 = 1

Therefore, the empirical formula of the compound is C₃H₅Cl.

liberstina [14]
In dilution we add distilled water to decrease the concentration of required sample from high concentration to lower concentration
The law used for dilution:
M₁V₁]Before dilution = M₂V₂] After dilution
M₁ = 1.5 M
V₁ = ?
M₂ = 0.3 M
V₂ = 500 ml
1.5 * V₁ = 0.3 * 500 ml
so V₁ = 100 ml and it completed to 500 ml using 400 ml deionized water
