Police officers confiscate a packet of white powder that they believe contains heroin. Purification by a forensic chemist yields a 35.19 mg sample for airproof combustion analysis. The sample gives 88.63 mg of CO2 and 18.92 mg of H2O. A second sample is analyzed for nitrogen content, which is 3.8%.

You take 1.00 g of an aspirin tablet (a compound consisting solely of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), burn it in air, and collect 2.20 g CO2 and 0.400 g H2O. You know that the molar mass of aspirin is between 170 and 190 g/mol. Reacting 1 mole of salicylic acid with I mole of acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) gives you 1 mole of aspirin and 1 mole of acetic acid (C2H4O2). Use this information to determine the molecular formula of salicylic acid.
