Hello!

We have the following data:

C: (carbon) = 0.100 mol
H: (hydrogen) = 0.200 mol
O: (oxygen) = 9.99*10^-2 = 0.0999 mol

We note that the values found above are not integers, so let's divide these values by the smallest of them, so that the proportion is not changed, let's see:

$C: \dfrac{0.100}{0.0999} \to\:\boxed{C \approx 1}$

$H: \dfrac{0.200}{0.0999} \to\:\boxed{H \approx 2}$

$O: \dfrac{0.0999}{0.0999} \to\:\boxed{O = 1}$

Thus, the minimum or empirical formula found for the compound will be:

$\boxed{\boxed{C_1H_2O_1\:\:or\:\:CH_2O}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark$

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR!

Empirical formula of the compound = CH_2O

Explanation:

Empirical formula is the mole ratio of each element in a chemical compound.

Given:

No. of mol of C = 0.100 mol

No. of mol of H = 0.200

No. of mol of O = $9.99 \times 10^-2\ mol = 0.099\ mol$

For the determination of empirical formula, no. of moles of each element should be in whole number.

If the no. of moles of elements are not in whole number, then divide moles of each element by the smallest mole of the element.

So, ratio of each element is:

C = $\frac{0.100}{0.099}\approx 0.100\ mol$

H = $\frac{0.100}{0.099}\approx 0.200\ mol$

O = $\frac{0.0.099}{0.099} = 0.100\ mol$

Mole ratio is

C : H : O = 1 : 2 : 1

So, the empirical formula = CH_2O

mechanics (greek is that area of science concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment. the scientific discipline has its origins in ancient greece with the writings of aristotle and archimedes[1][2][3] (see history of classical mechanics and timeline of classical mechanics). during the early modern period, scientists such as galileo, kepler, and newton laid the foundation for what is now known as classical mechanics. it is a branch of classical physics that deals with particles that are either at rest or are moving with velocities significantly less than the speed of light. it can also be defined as a branch of science which deals with the motion of and forces on objects. the field is yet less widely understood in terms of quantum theory.
