Direct reaction of iodine (I 2 ) and chlorine (Cl 2 ) produces an iodine chloride, I

Question:

Direct reaction of iodine (I₂) and chlorine (Cl₂) produces an iodine chloride, I_xCl_y , a bright yellow solid. If you completely consume 0.678 g of I₂ in a reaction with excess Cl₂ and produce 1.246 g of I_xCl_y , what is the empirical formula of the compound? A later experiment showed that the molar mass of I_xCl_y was 467 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of the compound?
