Worked example 3.30 g of a compound consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen only was analysed and found to contain 1.29 g of carbon and 0.29 g of hydrogen. Calculate its empirical formula Step 1 Find out how much oxygen the sample contained, 3.30 ~ 1,29 0.29 = 1.72 g of oxygen ‘Step 2 Convert each mass into the number of moles of atoms, using 7 + forcarbon: ©? = 0.11 mot + for hydrogen; 0.29 mol 72 6.0 + for oxygen: 0.11 mol Step 3. Divide by the lowest figure: O11 O11 + for carbon + for oxygen: Step 4 Find the simplest whole number ratio, This is 3 : 8: 3, so the empirical formula of this compound is CsH,Os
