Prior to their phaseout in the 1980s, chemicals containing lead were commonly added to gasoline as anti-knocking agents. A 1.135 g sample of one such additive containing only lead, carbon, and hydrogen was burned in an oxygen-rich environment. The products of the combustion were 1.235 g CO,(g) and 0.6321 g H,O(g). Determine the empirical formula of the gasoline additive. empirical formula: CHPB
