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.
