Find the empirical formula of the compound

Reference no: EM13714714

Problem- Part 1) Upon combustion, a 0.8009 g sample of a compound containing only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen produced 1.6004 g CO2 and 0.6551 g H2O. Find the empirical formula of the compound.

Part 2) Write a balanced equation for the combustion of gaseous butane (C4H10), in which it combines with oxygen to form gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. Write the sum of the coefficients in the box.

I have no idea how to do this! Thank you for your help!
