Since there is no weight, I would assume that this is a 100g of pure compound.
Okay so I would be changing the percentage to gram to solve for the mole.
So
40.0g C (1 mol C/12.01 g C) = 3.33 mol C
6.73g H (1 mol H/1.01 g H ) = 6.66 mol H
53.3g O (1 mol O/16.00 g O) = 3.33 mol O

With that, two of our moles is 3.33, so we consider that are our 1, as it is also the lowest. Therefore the empirical formula is CH2O

an atmosphere is considered hazardous if it contains a hazardous gas in excess of 10 percent of the hazardous material's:
svlad2 [7]

Lower flammable limit means the lowest concentration of a material that will propagate a flame.

What is hazardous atmosphere?

It is an atmosphere that may expose employees to risk of death, incapacitation, impairment of ability to self-rescue, injury, or acute illness from one or more of following causes

  • Flammable gas, vapor, or mist in excess of 10 percent of lower flammable limit (LFL)
  • Airborne combustible dust at concentration that meets or exceeds its LFL

What is lower flammable limit?

  • It means the lowest concentration of a material that will propagate a flame.
  • The LFL is usually expressed as percent by volume of material in air (or other oxidant)
  • Atmospheres with concentration of flammable vapors at or above 10 percent of lower explosive limit (LEL) are considered hazardous when located in confined spaces.
  • However, atmospheres with flammable vapors below 10 percent of LEL are not necessarily safe. Such atmospheres are too lean to burn

What does a most-favored-nation (MFN) status mean?
MatroZZZ [7]

Most Favored Nation status is an economic position in which a country enjoys the best trade terms given by its trading partner. That means it receives the lowest tariffs, the fewest trade barriers, and the highest import quotas (or none at all).

I got this from google, hope it helps! :)
