An Organic compound contains 59.00% by mass C, 7.15% by mass H, 7.65% by mass N, and 26.20% by mass O. What is the empirical formula of the compound? Use the lowest possible numbers, and put in "1" if there is only one of that atom in the formula, instead of leaving it blank. C Enter your answer above like a formula, for example CH2N3O4.
