A1.000 gram sample of an alcohol was burned in oxygen to produce 1.913 g of co2 and 1.174 g of h20. the alcohol contained only c, h, and o. what is the simplest formula of the alcohol?

The formula of alcohol are
1.913 g CO2/44 = 0.043 moles of CO2*12 = 0.043 moles of C 1.174 gram H2O/18 = 0.065 moles of H.
O: 1 - 0.516 g C - 13 g H = 0.354 g O/16 = 0.022 moles of O.
we have 0.043:0.130.;0.022 as C:H:O. Diving by the smallest no. 0.022 we get 1.95:5.9:1 or 2:6:1 as C:H:O.

hope this help 

The answer is c.  h+  and oh−  react to form water (h2o). i just took the test and i got it right. hope this !
