empirical formula = when the percentage compositions by mass of elements in a compound are divided by their relative atomic masses.
from the obtained amount the smallest amount will divide all.
the answers can then be rounded off if in decimals or they can be multiplied by 2 if they have .5 decimals e.g 2.5 , 7.5 , etc.
solution: HYDROGEN CARBON OXYGEN
2/1 74/12 24/16
2 6.167 1.5
2 / 1.5 6.167 / 1.5 1.5 / 1.5
1.333 4.111 1
1 4 1
answer : C4OH
