Vedclass · Answer

(C) To find the empirical formula,we calculate the molar ratio of the elements:						Element			Percentage			Atomic Mass			Relative Moles			Simplest Ratio									$C$			$38.71$			$12$			$38.71 / 12 = 3.22$			$3.22 / 3.22 = 1$							$H$			$9.67$			$1$			$9.67 / 1 = 9.67$			$9.67 / 3.22 = 3$							$O$			$51.62$			$16$			$51.62 / 16 = 3.22$			$3.22 / 3.22 = 1$			The simplest ratio of $C:H:O$ is $1:3:1$.Therefore,the empirical formula is $CH_3O$.

An organic compound contains carbon,hydrogen,and oxygen with percentages of $38.71\%$,$9.67\%$,and $51.62\%$ respectively. Determine the empirical formula of this compound.
