The formula as written, including a capital "I", is already an empirical formula, since it shows a total of 7 carbon atoms and none of the other subscripts is integrally divisible by 7. However, the formula may have been intended to be written C16H12Cl2O2. In that instance, all the subscripts can be integrally divided by 2 to given an empirical formula of C8H6ClO.
