Organic compound contained C, 18.3%; H, 0.51%; and the rest is Br. When 0.793 g of the compound was dissolved in 14.80 mL of chloroform (density = 1.485 g/mL), the solution boiled at 60.63 °C. Pure chloroform boils at 60.30 °C and has Kb = 3.63 °C kg mol-1. What is the molecular formula of the organic compound?
