DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) was the first chlorinated insecticide developed. It was used extensively in World War II to eradicate the mosquitoes that spread malaria. Its use was banned in the United States in 1978 because of environmental concerns. DDT is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine atoms. When a 5.000-g sample of DDT is burned in oxygen, 8.692 g of CO2 and 1.142 g of H2O are obtained. A second five-gram sample yields 2.571 g of HCl. What is the simplest formula for DDT?
