To solve the problem, we need to find the empirical and molecular formulas of a compound given the percentage composition of its elements and its relative molecular mass. Let's break down the steps: ### Step 1: Determine the mass of each element Given the percentages: - Carbon (C) = 57.82% - Oxygen (O) = 38.58% - Hydrogen (H) = 100% - (57.82% + 38.58%) = 3.60% ...
