First convert each mass to moles by dividing by the molar mass.
0.347g Oxygen = 0.022 moles
0.260g Carbon = 0.022 moles
1.537g Chlorine = 0.043 moles
Divide each by smallest mole vale (0.022)
Oxygen = 0.022/0.022 = 1
Carbon = 0.022/0.022 = 1
Chlorine = 0.043/0.022 = 2
Therefore the empirical formula is COCl2
Answer:
in the attached image is the reaction mechanism.
Explanation:
The first reaction (reaction 1) shown in the attached image is the Wolff-Kishner reduction, which is characterized when the carbonyl is reduced to an alkane in the presence of a hydrazine and a base. In reaction 1, the aldehyde reacts with hydrazine to produce oxime. This mechanism begins with the attack of the amine on the carbonyl group. Proton exchange happens and the water leaves the molecule.
In reaction 2, the KOH is deprotoned in nitrogen and organized to form the bond between the nitrogen molecule. this deprotonation releases the nitrogen gas
