The percentage of Carbon, Hydrogeon and Oxygen in an organic substance

1.	The percentage of Carbon, Hydrogeon and Oxygen in an organic substance are 40, 6.666 and 53.34 respectively. Molecular mass of the compound is 180 g mol^(-1). Find the value of integal number.
Answer» 6 2 1 4 Solution : `:.` EMPIRICAL formula `= CH_(2)O` and Empirical formula MASS `= C + 2H + O` `= 12 + 2+ 16 = 30` Integral no. `= ("molecular mass")/("empirical formula mass") = (180)/(30) =6`
