oxygen present in compound =64-24-8
=32g
for carbon moles=24/12=2
for hydrogen moles =8/1=8
for oxygen =32/16=2
molar ratio =1:4:1
empirical formula=CH4O

Answer:

64gm of an organic compound has 24g carbon and rest hydrogen and oxygen. the empirical formula of tha compound is. Now if we remove this qty of carbon from the mass of the total organic compound = 64-24=40 g - we are left with this mass for both oxygen and hydrogen.
