If we use 100 grams of compound:
m(C) = 0,7787 · 100 g = 77,87 g.
n(C) = 77,87 g ÷ 12 g/mol = 6,49 mol.
m(H) = 0,0263 · 100 g = 2,63 g.
n(H) = 2,63 g ÷ 1 g/mol = 2,63 mol.
m(O) = 0,5562 · 100 g = 55,62 g.
n(O) = 55,62 g ÷ 16 g/mol = 3,48 mol.
n(C) : n(H) : n(O) = 6,49 mol : 2,63 mol : 3,48 mol.
n(C) : n(H) : n(O) = 2,5 : 1 : 1,33.
From molecular mass only possible is C₁₂H₉O₁₂.

What is the symbol for the isotope of 58 co that possesses 33 neutrons?
Leona [35]
Element with an atomic number of 58 is actually Cerium, so the symbol should be Ce, not Co because that is Cobalt which has an atomic number of 27. With that being said, the notation for isotopes is the symbol of the element with a superscript and a subscript that are aligned. The superscript represents the mass number.

Mass number = protons + neutrons = 58 + 33 = 91

The subscript is the atomic number which is 58. The notation is written in the picture attached.
