From own experience, I know that OsO4 is colorless, but Cr2O3 is actually a solid green from what I have seen. but I guess it could appear yellow-greenish.

Answer is: OsO₄ (osmium tetroxide or osmium(VIII) oxide).

Osmium(VIII) is colourless, but most samples appear yellow, because of the presence of the impurity OsO₂ (osmium(IV) oxide), which is yellow-brown in colour.

Cr₂O₃ (chromium(III) oxide) is light to dark green compound. It is used as a pigment. In this chemical compound chromium has oxidation number +3.

The empirical formula : C₂Cl₇

The molecular formula : C₁₀Cl₃₅

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

8.81 g Carbon

91.2 g Chlorine

Molar Mass: 1362.5 g/mol

Required

The empirical formula and molecular formula

Solution

Mol ratio :

C = 8.81 g : 12.011 g/mol =0.733

Cl = 91.2 g : 35,453 g/mol = 2..572

Divide by 0.733

C : Cl = 1 : 3.5 = 2 : 7

The empirical formula : C₂Cl₇

(The empirical formula)n = the molecular formula

(C₂Cl₇)n = 1362.5

(2x12.011+7x35.453)n=1362.5

(272.193)n=1362.5

n = 5

you find that 7.36g of a compound has decomposed to give 6.93g of oxygen. the only other element in the compound is hydrogen. if
slavikrds [6]
First solve the moles of oxgen present in the compound

mol O = 6.93 g O ( 1 mol O / 16 g O )
mol O = 0.43 mol H

then solve the moles of hydrogen present
mol H = ( 7.36 - 6.93) g H ( 1 mol H / 1 g H)
mol H = 0.43 mol H
so the O and H are in the same mole content so the molecular formula would be OH, but the molar mass will not satisfy. so the answer would be
H2O2
