An acid, which is responsible for the foul odor of dirty socks, is composed of C, H and O atoms. Combusting a 0.225 g sample of the compound in air produces 0.512 g CO2 and 0.209 g H,O. The MM of the acid = 116 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of the acid? A) C3H,0 B) CH1202 C) C,H,O2 D) CH,0 E) CH1,06
