A combustion analysis of a 0.503 g sample of an unknown hydrocarbon yields 1.53 g CO and 0.756 g HO. What is the empirical formula of the sample? Give your answer in the form C#H# where the number following the element’s symbol corresponds to the subscript in the formula. (Don’t include a 1 subscript explicitly). For example, the formula CHO would be entered as CH2O.
