Explain the mass of the sample used in the combustion

Reference no: EM13560811

Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C, present in apples) is burned in the presence of excess oxygen, to yield 5.80 mg CO2 and 1.58 mg H2O. Knowing that ascorbic acid contains only C, H, and O, and the mass of the sample used in the combustion was 3.87 mg:

1) Determine the empirical formula of ascorbic acid.
