Acompound is found to contain 6.1% hydrogen and 93.9% oxygen. find it’s empirical formula.

CH.

Explanation:

The no. of moles of hydrogen = mass / atomic mass = (6.10 g)/(1.00 g/mol) = 6.10 mol.

The no. of moles of oxygen = mass / atomic mass = (93.90 g)/(16.00 g/mol) = 5.86 mol.

∴ The ratio of H:O is (1.04: 1.00) which is mainly 1.0: 1.0.

So, the empirical formula of the compound is CH.

yes it is balanced
