Material Detail

While working in the lab, you find a bottle of white powder labeled "analgesic compound #5". Since the original investigator neglected to record the identity of the substance, you decide to perform a combustion analysis to identify the compound. You have a 65.7 g sample that when burned produces 182 g CO 2 and 51.7 g H 2 O. What is the formula of this compound? (The compound only consists of C,H, and O.)
