An organic compound contains 72% carbon, 12% hydrogen and 16% oxygen by mass. The empirical formula of the compound is
C8H22O3
C6H10O3
C12H12O
C6H12O
C3H6O
Correct answer is D
carbon = 72%, hydrogen = 12%, 16%
Dividing by the atomic weight we have for C = 51 = 6
H = 121 = 12
O = 1616 = 1
Divide by the smallest number, we have = 61 = 6
H = 121 = 12
O = 11 = 1
The formula is C6H12O
