82.40% C and 6.92% H by mass. Its simplest formula is its molecular formula. What are (a) the
formula and (b) the molecular weight of skatole?

2. Two minerals that contain copper are chalcopyrite, CuFeS2, and chalcocite, Cu2S. What mass of
chalcocite would contain the same mass of copper as is contained in 418 pounds of chalcopyrite?

3. A sample of a compound is found to contain 5.60 g N, 14.2 g Cl, and 0.800 g H. What is the
simplest formula of this compound? (b) A sample of another compound containing the same
elements is found to be 26.2% N, 66.4% Cl, and 7.5% H. What is the simplest formula of this
compound?
