The reaction of equal molar amounts of chlorine, Cl2 and benzene, C6H6, carried out under special conditions, yields a gas and a clear liquid. Determine of the liquid shows that it contains 4.48%hydrogen, 64.03% carbon, and 31.49% chlorine by mass and that is has a molar mass of 112.5 g/mol.
1. Calculate the number of moles of chlorine and carbon in a 100 g sample.
2. Calculate the empirical formula for this compound. Determine the numbers of moles of hydrogen atoms are in 1 mole of the empirical formula?
3. Calculate the molecular formula for this compound. Determine the numbers of moles of hydrogen atoms are in one mole of molecules (or equivalently discuss how many hydrogen atoms are in one molecule)?
