Answer :

Answer:

CHO 1:1:1

Explanation:

so to simplify just multiply each substance by 100g

carbon 0.414*100 = 41.4g

hydrogen 0.354*100 = 3.45g

oxygen 0.552*100= 55.2g

Now just divide each by its atomic mass

carbon  41.4g/12.0107 = 3.44692649

hydrogen 3.45g/1.00784 = 3.42316241

oxygen 55.2g/16.00= 3.45

They are all approximately 1:1:1 So empirical formula is

C3.4H3.4O3.4 ~ CHO
