Question

Question 4. SCCl is a short-term muscle relaxation agent used for endotracheal intubation and electro- convulsive therapy (ECT). SCCl contains carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and chlorine. We use CrHsNtOwCly to represent the formula of SCCl. A 5.4195 g sample of SCCl reacted with 10.320 g

oxygen (O2, molar mass 32.000 g) and formed 9.2421 g CO2, 4.0536 g H2O, and 1.3803 g NO2. An

unknown mass of chlorine gas was formed. In a separate experiment, a 6.503 g sample of SCCl was dissolved in 1.000 L water and absorption spectroscopy was used to determine that this solution was 0.01800 M SCCl.
