State the mass spectrum determined the molecular weight

Reference no: EM13172823

Oil of wintergreen contains methyl salicylate. Elemental analysis of methyl salicylate found 63.15% carbon, 5.30% hydrogen, and 31.55% oxygen. the mass spectrum determined the molecular weight of mehtyl salicylate to be 125.15 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of methyl salicylate?

Please show all work. I'm stuck on creating the empirical formula. I converted the percentages to moles, but when I tried to create an empirical formula, I couldn't get whole numbers for the subscripts.
