Answer:

C2H4Cl

Explanation:

The first step in obtaining the empirical formula is to divide the percent by mass of each element by its relative atomic mass;

C- 37.83/12, H- 6.35/1, Cl- 55.83/35.5

3.15, 6.35, 1.57

Divide through by the lowest ratio

3.15/1.57, 6.35/1.57, 1.57/1.57

2, 4, 1

Hence, empirical formula is C2H4Cl

This year course engages students in becoming skilled readers of prose written in a variety of periods, disciplines, and

rhetorical contexts and in becoming skilled writers who compose for a variety of purposes. More immediately, the course

prepares the students to perform satisfactorily on the A.P. Examination in Language and Composition given in the spring.

Both their writing and their reading should make students aware of the interactions among a writer’s purposes, audience

expectations, and subjects as well as the way generic conventions and the resources of language contribute to effectiveness

in writing. Students will learn and practice the expository, analytical, and argumentative writing that forms the basis of

academic and professional writing; they will learn to read complex texts with understanding and to write prose of

sufficient richness and complexity to communicate effectively with mature readers. Readings will be selected primarily,

but not exclusively, from American writers. Students who enroll in the class will take the AP examination.
