On strongs heating, One gram of the silver salt of an organic dibasic acid yields 0.5934 g of silver. If the mass percentage of carbon in it 8 times the mass percentage of hydrogen and one - half the mass percentage of oxygen, determine the molecular formula of the acid.

The normal activity of living carbon-containing matter is found to be about 15 decays per minute for every gram of carbon. This activity arises from the small proportion of radioactive "_6^14C present with the stable carbon isotope "_6^12C . When the organism is dead, its interaction with the atmosphere (which maintains the above equilibrium activity) ceases and its activity begins to drop. From the known half-life (5730 years) of "_6^14C , and the measured activity, the age of the specimen can be approximately estimated. This is the principle of "_6^14C dating used in archaeology. Suppose a specimen from Mohenjodaro gives an activity of 9 decays per minute per gram of carbon. Estimate the approximate age of the Indus-Valley civilisation.

An organic compound contains 4.07% hydrogen , 71.65% chlorine and remaining carbon. its molar mass is 98.96. Find its empirical formula.
