2. 32.0% carbon; 5.4% hydrogen; 62.8% chlorine; C3H6Cl2
3. C2H5NO2
4. 180.2 = molecular mass. Molecular formula is C9H8O4.
5. Equivalent weight = 52.3
6. (a) 6 (b) 1 (c) 3 (d) 6 (e) 12
7. The index of hydrogen deficiency = 1. There cannot be a triple bond, since the
presence of a triple bond would require an index of hydrogen deficiency of at
least 2.
