The empirical and molecular formulas will be and
respectively.
The compound contains C, H, and O.
C = 61.15/12 = 5.0958
H = 5.3/1 = 5.3
O = 31.55/16 = 1.9719
Divide by the smallest
C = 2.6
H = 2.7
O = 1
Thus, the empirical formula is
Empirical formula mass = (12x5) + (1x5) + 16x2 = 97
n = 152.15/97 = 2
The molecular formula is
