To find the percent composition of the compound, we first need to determine the molar mass of the empirical formula CCl.Molar mass of Carbon C = 12.01 g/molMolar mass of Chlorine Cl = 35.45 g/molMolar mass of CCl = 12.01 g/mol C + 35.45 g/mol Cl = 47.46 g/molNow, we need to find the ratio between the molar mass of the compound 98.96 g/mol and the empirical formula CCl, 47.46 g/mol .Ratio = Molar mass of compound / Molar mass of empirical formula Ratio = 98.96 g/mol / 47.46 g/mol 2.08Since the ratio is approximately 2, the molecular formula of the compound is C2Cl2.Now, we can find the percent composition of the compound.Percent composition of Carbon C = 2 * 12.01 g/mol / 98.96 g/mol * 100Percent composition of Carbon C 24.25 %Percent composition of Chlorine Cl = 2 * 35.45 g/mol / 98.96 g/mol * 100Percent composition of Chlorine Cl 75.75 %The percent composition of the compound C2Cl2 is approximately 24.25% Carbon and 75.75% Chlorine.
