Hi there!

Although there are only 20 amino acids, these amino acids can combine into an innumerable amount of combinations to form different and unique proteins. 

In case that doesn't make sense to you, I'll provide you with an analogy. You could be provided with 20 different LEGO bricks to work with. While there may only be 20 bricks, these bricks can combine into a vast amount of different formations, structures, etc. Amino Acids work in the same way.

A compound containing chromium, Cr; chlorine, Cl; and oxygen, O, is analyzed and found to be 33.6% chromium, 45.8% chlorine, and
Assoli18 [71]

Answer

The empirical formula is CrO₂Cl₂

Explanation:

Empirical formula is the simplest whole number ratio of an atom present in a compound.

The compound contain, Chromium=33.6%

                                         Chlorine=45.8%

                                          Oxygen=20.6%

And the molar mass of Chromium(Cr)=51.996 g mol.

                 Chlorine containing molar mass (Cl)= 35.45    g mol.

                 Oxygen containing molar mass (O)=15.999  g mol.

Step-1

 Then,we will get,

Cr=\frac{1}{51.996} \times33.6=0.64 mol

Cl= \frac{1}{35.45} \times45.8=1.29 mol.

O=\frac{1}{15.99} \times=1.28 mol.

Step-2

Divide the mole value with the smallest number of mole, we will get,

Cr= \frac{0.64}{0.64} =1

Cl= \frac{1.29}{0.64} =2

O= \frac{1.28}{0.64} =2

Then, the empirical formula of the compound is CrO₂Cl₂ (Chromyl chloride)
