✡ Answer: 1.23*10^2 ✡
- - Add a decimal at the end (to the right) and count till you get to the first number.
So now you have 1.23
- - Now you always want to times it by 10 to the power of how many times you moved it over, in this case, 2
Final answer: 1.23*10^2

Carbon(C):
number of moles= mass/molar mass(Mr)
=65.5/12
=5.5 moles
Hydrogen(H):
number of moles=mass/molar mass (Mr)
=5.5/1
=5.5 moles
Oxygen (O):
number of moles = mass/molar mass (Mr)
=29.0/16
=1.8 moles
EF= lowest number of moles over each of the elements
So,
C= 5.5/1.8 = 3
H= 5.5/1.8 = 3
O= 1.8/1.8 = 1
Therefore Emperical formula= C3H3O
