A certain organic compound is found by analysis to contain 42.43 per cent carbon and 7.42 per cent hydrogen, by weight. A qualitative test shows chlorine to be present as well. On the assumption that the only elements present are carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine, find the coefficient of chlorine in the simplest formula for this compound. Note, the minimum value of this coefficient (in this problem only) is 2!
