To determine the molecular formula, we first need to find the empirical formula, which requires the molar mass of the compound. The original image containing the full question is not available in this interaction, so I will proceed by first calculating the empirical formula based on the provided masses.

i. Determine the empirical formula of the compound

Step 1: Calculate the mass of Oxygen (O).
The total mass of compound A is 1.000 g1.000 \text{ g}.
Mass of Carbon (C) =0.400 g= 0.400 \text{ g}
Mass of Hydrogen (H) =0.133 g= 0.133 \text{ g}
Mass of Oxygen (O) $= Total mass - Mass of C - \text{Mass of
