now, it seems that for every 1 mole of oxygen, there are 4 moles of carbon, 2 moles of nitrogen and 5 moles of hydrogen. based on this information, what would be the empirical formula of this substance? o c₂h₄no o c₄h₅no o c₄h₅n₂o o c₄.₁₁₉h₅.₁₅n₂.₀₅₈o₁.₀₃ there is not enough information to determine the empirical formula of the substance. o : c 1 mol 4 mol o : h 1 mol 5 mol o : n 1 mol 2 mol c?h?n?o? relative mass percent or mass (in grams) of each element in the substance moles of each element in the substance

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the mole ratios

Given for every 1 mole of oxygen (\(O\)), there are 4 moles of carbon (\(C\)), 2 moles of nitrogen (\(N\)) and 5 moles of hydrogen (\(H\)).

Step2: Write the empirical formula

The empirical formula is written using the mole ratios of the elements. So the formula is \(C_4H_5N_2O\) (since \(C:4\), \(H:5\), \(N:2\), \(O:1\)).

Answer:

\(C_4H_5N_2O\) (the third option \(C_4H_5N_2O\) is correct)
