Report all your results by using significant figures and use dimensional analysis. A flammable gas contains only C, H, N, and Cl. The complete combustion of a 100.0 mg sample of this gas in excess oxygen produces 83.16 mL of CO2 and 73.30 mL of H20 vapor at STP. A separate analysis shows that the sample also contains 16.44 mg of Cl. (a) Determine the percentage of the composition of the substance. (b) Calculate its empirical formula.
