% combination by weight Atomic weights: No of g-atoms in 100 gms =
C= 67.30% 12.011 5.6032 =67.3/12.011
N= 4.62% 14.007 0.3298 =4.62/14.007
O= 21.15% 15.999 1.3220 =21.15/15.999
H= 6.93% 1.008 6.8750 =6.93/1.008
100.00%
Therefore C,N,O, H are in the ratio 5.6032:0.3298:1.3220:6.8750
If we divide by the smallest number ie 0.3298 we get
C= 16.99
N= 1
O= 4.01
H= 20.85
Therefore C N O H are in ...
