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.

The anticodons corresponding to the codons on the mRNA (from part A) is 5' CGA - AAA - GUU 3'.

<h3>What are anticodons?</h3>

Anticodons are nucleotide sequences on tRNA molecules that are complementary to the codons found on mRNA molecules.

The anticodons on tRNA molecules determine the amino acid that is carried by the tRNA.

Just like codons, anticodons occur in triplets of nucleotide sequences.

Considering the codons on the mRNA molecule:

3’ GCT | TTT | CAA | AAA ’5

The complementary anticodon will be:

5' CGA - AAA - GUU 3'

Stereochemistry, a subdiscipline of chemistry, involves the study of the relative spatial arrangement of atoms that form the structure of molecules and their manipulation.

<h3>What is the use of stereochemistry?</h3>

Using stereochemistry, chemists can work out the relationships between different molecules that are made up from the same atoms. They can also study the effect on the physical or biological properties these relationships give molecules.

<h3>Why is it called stereochemistry?</h3>

The term “stereochemistry” is derived from the Greek “stereos” meaning solid—it refers to chemistry in three dimensions. Since nearly all organic molecules are three dimensional (with the exception of some olefins and aromatics to be discussed later), stereochemistry cannot be considered a branch of chemistry.
