How many electrons can each orbital hold?

Analysis of a sample of a compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen shows that the sample contains 18.80 g of C, 2.367 g of H, and 25.04 g of O.

The properties of the compound suggest that the molar mass should be 59.04 g/mol.

How many carbon atoms are there in one molecule of the compound?

Explanation:

Empirical formula mass is

Empirical formula mass =molecular formula mass

Hence,

empirical formula is same as molecular formula.

That is --- .

So, the molecule has two carbon atoms in one molecule of the compound.
