A compound containing only C, H, and O, was extracted from the bark of the sassafras tree. The combustion of 74.7 mg produced 203 mg of CO2 and 41.5 mg of H2O. The molar mass of the compound was 162 g/mol.

(0.203 g CO2) / (44.00964 g CO2/mol) × (1 mol C / 1 mol CO2) × (12.01078 g C/mol) = 0.055401 g C
(0.0415 g H2O) / (18.01532 g H2O/mol) × (2 mol H / 1 mol H2O) × (1.007947 g H/mol) = 0.0046438 g H
(0.0747 g total) - (0.055401 g C) - (0.0046438 g H) = 0.0146552 g O

(162 g/mol) x (0.055401 g C) / (0.0747 g total) / (12.01078 g C/mol) = 10.003
(162 g/mol) x (0.0046438 g H) / (0.0747 g total) / (1.007947 g H/mol) = 9.991
(162 g/mol) x (0.0146552 g O) / (0.0747 g total) / (15.99943 g O/mol) = 1.986
Round to the nearest whole numbers to find the molecular formula:
C10H10O2

The coefficients of the molecular formula have the common factor of 2, so divide by 2 to find the empirical formula:
C5H5O
