To find the empirical formula you would first need to find the moles of each element:
58.8g/ 12.0g = 4.9 mol C
9.9g/ 1.0g = 9.9 mol H
31.4g/ 16.0g = 1.96 O
Then you divide by the smallest number of moles of each:
4.9/1.96 = 2.5
9.9/1.96 = 6
1.96/1.96 = 1
Since there is 2.5, you find the least number that makes each moles a whole number which is 2.
So the empirical formula is C5H12O2.

Answer:
Percentage of copper = 88%
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of copper = 51.2 g
Mass of tin = 6.84 g
Percentage of copper = ?
Solution:
Formula:
Percentage of copper = mass of copper / total mass × 100
Now we will determine the total mass:
Total mass = mass of copper + mass of tin
Total mass = 51.2 g + 6.84 g
Total mass = 58.04 g
Now we will calculate the percentage of copper.
Percentage of copper = 51.2 g / 58.04 g × 100
Percentage of copper = 0.88 × 100
Percentage of copper = 88%
The nuclei of atoms also contain neutrons, which help hold the nucleus together. ... The total weight of an atom is called the atomic weight. It is approximately equal to the number of protons and neutrons, with a little extra added by the electrons.
The mass of a given atom, measured on a scale in which the hydrogen atom has the weight of one. Because most of the mass in an atom is in the nucleus, and each proton and neutron has an atomic weight near one, the atomic weight is very nearly equal to the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
