Answer:

CCl_(2)FCF_(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation we can use Graham's Law of effusion to calculate the molar mass of the chloroflourocarbon

$\sqrt{(M_(1) )/(M_(2) ) } = (t_(1) )/(t_(2) ) \\\\\sqrt{(M_(1) )/(39.948 ) } = (157 )/(76)\\\\\\M_(1)  = 170.477\\$

Which chloroflorocarbon has this molar mass?

C2Cl2F4
