AI Generated Solution

To determine the molecular formula of the compound with a molecular mass of 220 amu, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the mass of each element in 100 g of the compound. Given the percentages: - Carbon (C) = 54.54% - Oxygen (O) = 36.36% - Hydrogen (H) = 100% - (54.54% + 36.36%) = 9.1% ...
