From the <span>ideal gas law,
n = PV / RT
n= moles = W / M
W= weight
M = molar mass

So, W / M = PV /RT
=> M = WRT / PV
We got above the formula for molar mass.

Now, put the appropriate values.

W= 0.8 g 
R=0.0821 atm / K-mol
T= 373 K
V= 256mL = 0.256 L 
P = 750 torr =  750 / 760 = 0.987 atm

After putting these values and calculating the value of M, we get :

M  = 97 g / mol

Now, </span>Assuming the molecular formula is (CHCl)_n

So, molar mass = n × <span>(12.01 + 1.01 + <span>35.45)

equate it with 97.

We get the value of n then:
</span></span>n×<span>(12.01 + 1.01 + 35.45) = 97

n = 2

Means molecular formula is </span>C_2H_2Cl_2<span>
</span>
