Combustion of a 0.9835g sample of a compound containing only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen produced 1.900g of co2 and 1.070g of h2o. what is the empirical formula of the compound?

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).

the dissolution of polymer can be thermodynamically described in 2 steps.
