Answer:
CHO
Explanation:
Carbon = 41%, Hydrogen = 4.58%, oxygen = 54.6%
Step 1:
Divide through by their respective relative atomic masses
41/ 12, 4.58/1, 54.6/16
3.41 4.58 3.41
Step 2:
Divide by the lowest ratio:
3.41/3.41, 4.58/3.41, 3.41/3.41
1, 1, 1
Hence the empirical formula is CHO
Answer:
Alkyne
Explanation:
The homologous series for this compound is the Alkyne because of the presence of the triple bond present between the third and fourth carbon atoms as seen in the picture attached.
