300g of a compound which contains only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen is analysed and found to
contain the exact same percentage of carbon as it has oxygen. The percentage of hydrogen is
known to be 5.98823%. Find the empirical formula of the compound?

Explanation:
If hydrogen % = 5.98823, the Sum of C+O = 94.01177% or 47.005885% each
The original mass of 300g is not important
C = 47.005885/12.011 = 3.913569
H = 5.98823/1.008 = 5.94070
O = 47.005885/15.999 = 2.93805
Divide through by smallest:
C =1.33
H = 2.022
O = 1
Multipy through by 3
C = 4
H =6
O = 3
