Hydroquinone, used as a photographic developer, is $65.4 \% \mathrm{C}, 5.5 \% \mathrm{H}$, and $29.1 \% \mathrm{O}$, by mass. What is the empirical formula of hydroquinone?
Added by Catherine C.
Step 1
Assume we have 100 g of hydroquinone. This means we have 65.4 g of C, 5.5 g of H, and 29.1 g of O. Show more…

Quinone, which is used in the dye industry and in photography, is an organic compound containing only C, $\mathrm{H}$, and $\mathrm{O}$. What is the empirical formula of the compound if $0.105 \mathrm{~g}$ of the compound gives $0.257 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{CO}_{2}$ and $0.0350 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ when burned completelv?
