Solution: to get oxygen;100−(52.2+13)=34.8  empirical formula:  c_((52.2)/(12))    h_((13)/1)    o_((34.8)/(16))                                                       4.35  13   2.175      divide by smaller number                                                    2         5.977    1  empirical formula :  C_2 H_6 O  molecular formula: [C_2 H_6 O]_n =138  [(12×2)+(1×6)+(16×1)]_n =138  [24+6+16]_n =138  46n=138  n=((138)/(46))=3  ∴molecular formula:[C_2 H_6 O]_3 =C_6 H_(18) O_3
