**Problem Statement:**An unknown compound has the formula C\(_x\)H\(_y\)O\(_z\). You burn 0.2062 g of the compound and isolate 0.5034 g of CO\(_2\) and 0.2061 g of H\(_2\)O. What is the empirical formula of the compound? If the molar mass is 72.1 g/mol, what is the molecular formula?(Enter the elements in the order: C, H, O.)**Blank Fields:**- Empirical formula: [Blank]- Molecular formula: [Blank]---This is a problem relating to the determination of empirical and molecular formulas based on combustion analysis results. It involves identifying the amounts of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a compound by measuring the masses of CO\(_2\) and H\(_2\)O produced. There are no graphs or diagrams, so no further explanation is necessary.
