Answer:
Empirical formula is CCl₄
Explanation:
Given data:
Percentage of carbon = 7.70%
Percentage of chlorine = 92.3%
Empirical formula = ?
Solution:
Number of gram atoms of Cl = 92.3 / 35.5 = 2.6
Number of gram atoms of C = 7.70 / 12 = 0.64
Atomic ratio:
C : Cl
0.64/0.64 : 2.6/0.64
1 : 4
C : Cl = 1 : 4
Empirical formula is CCl₄.
C. all the other choices are positive impacts to the environment unlike C
The planet would be Uranus.
