@emanuelfarias give 5 minutes

@GTXMUQSIT K i will
OpenStudy (gtxmuqsit):
It's CH2O3 @emanuelfarias
OpenStudy (gtxmuqsit):
@emanuelfarias do you want solution of it?

@GTXMUQSIT because it give me HCO and it say insert the subscripts needed that is
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@GTXMUQSIT just the number u know
OpenStudy (gtxmuqsit):
use the molar weights and assume there is 100g
3.25/1.008 = 3.22
19.36/12 = 1.61
77.39/16 = 4.84
now take the smallest value and divide all others by it in this case 1.61 is smallest.
1.61/1.61 = 1 therefore C=1
3.22/1.61 = 2 therefore H=2
4.84/1.61 = 3 therefore H=3
@emanuelfarias I hope now you get it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so then it would be H2C1O
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nope it wrong cuz i need the subscripts of H , C and O
