Answer:
When a gas occupies a smaller volume, it exerts a higher pressure; when it occupies a larger volume, it exerts a lower pressure (assuming the amount of gas and the temperature do not change). Since P and V are inversely proportional, a graph of 1/P vs. V is linear.

First take all percents and make them grams. Since you're not given a overall molar mass you can assume it is 100 and therefore the percents are their masses.
So you have 14.31g Carbon, 1.2g Hydrogen, and 84.49g of Chlorine. Next you divide each by their molar masses to get moles of each.
Carbon= <u>14.31</u>g Hydrogen= <u>1.2</u>g Chlorine= <u>85.49</u>g
12.01g 1.01g 35.45g
= 1.19moles = 1.188moles = 2.411moles
Next you divide each of those numbers by the smallest, in this case, Hydrogen.
Thus,
Carbon= <u>1.19moles</u> Hydrogen= <u>1.188moles</u> Chlorine= <u>2.411moles</u>
1.188moles 1.188moles 1.188moles
=1.002 =1 =2.02
These are all close enough to round, so your final empirical formula is: CHCl2
Hope that helps!!
