Ok I got it wrong I think but I'm too lazy to delete all my hard work soooo.... merry Christmas? Molar masses of C = 12.0107 H = 2.016 O = 15.999 Now what we gots tuh do is take the masses and add them together, but we have to add 2 carbons and 2 oxygens because we are trying to find the molar mass of the empirical formula. So... 2(12.0107)+2(2.016)+15.999 24.0214+4.032+15.999 = 44.0524 Now that we have the molar mass of the empirical formula, we divide the 252.22 by it. 252.22/44.0524 = 5.7254 72.0642+12.096+95.994
