Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the formula of the organic compound, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the percentage composition of Carbon Given the percentage compositions of Hydrogen and Oxygen, we can find the percentage of Carbon by subtracting the sum of the percentages of Hydrogen and Oxygen from 100%. \[ \text{Percentage of Carbon} = 100\% - (\text{Percentage of Hydrogen} + \text{Percentage of Oxygen}) \] ...
