Explanation:

Element Atomic Mass Relative no. of atoms Simplest Ratio Whole no. Ratio

C (50%) 12 4.166 1.33 1.33×3=4

O (50%) 16 3.125 1 1×3=3

∴ Empirical formula= C

4

O

3

Mass= (4×12)+(3×16)=96

n=

Empirical mass/Molecular mass

=

288/96

=3

∴ Molecular formula= n× Empirical formula

=3(C
