उत्तर
| Element | Atomic mass | Percentage | Relative number of moles | Simplest mole ratio | Whole number ratio |
| C | 12 | 26.7 | 26.7/12 = 2.2 | 2.2/2.2 = 1 | 1 |
| O | 16 | 71.1 | 71.1/16 = 4.44 | 4.44/2.2 =2 | 2 |
| H | 1 | 2.2 | 2.2/1 = 2.2 |
2.2/2.2 = 1 | 1 |
So the empirical formula of the compound is CO2H.
