While working with Dr. VonRothstein you create a new compound that you know has the following general formula of CHN and a molar mass of 60.10g/mol. The problem is that since you didn’t write down everything in your lab book you have no idea what the formula is. This compound could cure cancer so finding its’ formula is imperative. You decide to do your best to find the formula by combusting 2.859 g of the compound. You find that it yields 4.190 g CO2 and 3.428 g H2O.
