4) A compound called vinyl chloride has a composition of 38.43% carbon, 4.838% hydrogen, and 56.72% chlorine. When vinyl chloride is polymerized (many single units linked together to form a long chain) under certain conditions, a white solid called polyvinyl chloride is formed with molecular mass of 23,875. What is the molecular formula of polyvinyl chloride ?
