Yuki loves to dip fried longganisa in vinegar. She knows that

Ibuprofen, the active ingredient in the compound that gives vinegar its sour taste is acetic acid,
which contains the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Advil, is made up of C, H, and oxygen She performed an experiment wherein a 5.00 g sample of
atoms. When a sample of ibuprofen, acetic was burned and gave 7.33 g CO2 and 3.00 g H2O.

weighing 5.000g, burns in oxygen,

13.86g of CO2 and 3.926 g of water
are obtained. What is the simplest
formula of ibuprofen? 1. What is the empirical formula of acetic acid based on
the data?
2. The molar mass of acetic acid, as determined with a
mass spectrometer, is about 60 g/mol. What is the
