empirical formula - Please help
 

A compound with molar mass 180.2 g/mol has the following composition:
C 60.0%
H 4.48%
O 35.5%

Determine the empirical formula?

do you have a solutions manual?
I can take a guess at this one... but would feel better if you knew what was the correct answer and then work from there.

is it C9H804

Figure out what the mass of each element is by multiplying it's percentage by the total mass. Then, divide each of those masses by the molar mass of that element. This will give you the number of moles of that element. Then, you should be able to see that the molar amounts of the elements are all integer multiples of some number. Divide each of them by that number.

thank you!
 

I want to thank you both. yhtu22 for the correct answer and RobJim for the steps to solve the problem.
