6) Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is an essential nutrient found in various foods and is involved in the repair of tissue and the enzymatic production of certain neurotransmitters. Elemental analysis of ascorbic acid indicates that it consists of 40.9% C, 4.59% H, and 54.5% O Calculate the empirical formula for ascorbic acid. HINT: Remember you can ONLY round an atom's subscript if it is less than 0.1 away from a whole number.
