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= 14.31g Hydrogen= 1.2g Chlorine= 85.49g
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= 1.19moles Hydrogen= 1.188moles Chlorine= 2.411moles
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!!

Answer from: Quest

the grams of barium that are in 2.3 x 10^23 atoms of barium is 52.4 g (answer c)

calculation

mass = moles of ba x molar mass of ba

molar mass of ba from periodic table= 137.3 g/mol

use the avogadro's law constant to calculate the moles of barium

that is 1 mole = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

? moles = 2.3 x 10^23 atoms

by cross multiplication

=(1 mole x 2.3x 10^23 atoms) / 6.02 x10^23 atoms)= 0.382 moles

mass is therefore = 137.3 g/mol x 0.382 mol = 52.4 ( answer c)

Answer from: Quest

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{1}$ and electronic configuration of phosphorous is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{3}$ .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

$3na + p \rightarrow na_{3}p$

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.

Electrons are transferred from atoms of to atoms of this transfer makes the sodium atoms and the
