1.A compound containing titanium (Ti) and chlorine is analyzed by converting all the titanium into 1.20g of TiO2 and all the chlorine into 6.45g of AgCl. What is the simplest formula for the original compound?

Convert both these masses into moles through the molar masses:

1.20 g TiO2 (1 mol / 236.36 g TiO2) = 0.00508 moles TiO2
6.45 g AgCl ( 1 mol / 143.34 g AgCl) = 0.0450 moles AgCl

Now for every mole of compound there is one mole of Ti and one mole of Cl so we have:
0.0508 moles Ti
0.0450 moles Cl

We like to round these moles to whole numbers
0.0450 / 0.0450 = 1
0.0508 / 0.0450 = 1.129
1.129 * 7 = 9

 Ti 9 Cl ...
