Convert g CO2 to percent C.
Convert g H2O to percent H.
Add %C and %H and subtract the sum from 100 to obtain %O.
Then take 100 g sample which will give you the percents in grams.
Convert gC, gH, and gO to moles. Then find the ratio of each element to the smallest in whole numbers.
Post your work if you get stuck.
