Answer:
The answer to your question is C₂HO₃
Explanation:
Data
Hydrogen = 3.25%
Carbon = 19.36%
Oxygen = 77.39%
Process
1.- Write the percent as grams
Hydrogen = 3.25 g
Carbon = 19.36 g
Oxygen = 77.39 g
2.- Convert the grams to moles
1 g of H ----------------- 1 mol
3,25 g of H ------------- x
x = (3.25 x 1) / 1
x = 3.25 moles
12 g of C ---------------- 1 mol
19.36 g of C ---------- x
x = (19.36 x 1) / 12
x = 1.61 moles
16g of O --------------- 1 mol
77.39 g of O --------- x
x = (77.39 x 1)/16
x = 4.83
3.- Divide by the lowest number of moles
Carbon = 3.25/1.61 = 2
Hydrogen = 1.61/1.61 = 1
Oxygen = 4.83/1.61 = 3
4.- Write the empirical formula
C₂HO₃

The Plum Pudding Model is a model of atomic structure proposed by J.J. Thomson in the late 19th century. Thomson had discovered that atoms are composite objects, made of pieces with positive and negative charge, and that the negatively charged electrons within the atom were very small compared to the entire atom.
