What is the empirical formula of a compound that contains 50.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen, and 43.3% oxygen by mass? ch3o c3h5o2 c2h2o5 c3h205 c1h3o5

the empirical formula of a compound.

Explanation:

Suppose in 100 g of compound contains 50.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen, and 43.3% oxygen;

Then mass of carbon =

Moles of carbon =

Then mass of hydrogen=

Moles of hydrogen=

Then mass of oxygen =

Moles of oxygen =

To determine the empirical formula compound dived the smallest value of moles from each moles of element.

Carbon =

Hydrogen=

Oxygen=
