Answer 2

Answer:

C23H  

Explanation:

to find the empirical formula:

carbon                       hydrogen

53.17                            13.64

Divide each of them by their atomic numbers

53.17                         13.64

  1                                   6

53.17                            2.27

Divide through by the smallest number

53.17                         2.27

2.27                            2.27
