The empirical formula of an organic compound is C1H2O1. If the empirical formula mass of the compound is 30. Find the percentage composition of the elements in the compound.

1 answer

% Carbon = (mass C/30)*100 = (12.01/30)*100 = ?
% Hydrogen = (mass H/30)*100 = (2*1.0079/30)*100 = ?
% Oxygen = (mass O/30)*100 = (16/30)*100 = ?
