Answer: The molecular formula will be 
Explanation:
When percentages are provided, we assume the total mass to be 100 grams.
Thus, the mass of each element corresponds to the specified percentage.
Mass of C= 70.6 g
Mass of H = 5.9 g
Mass of O = 23.5 g
Step 1: convert given masses to moles.
Moles of C =
Moles of H =
Moles of O =
Step 2: For determining the mole ratio, divide each molar amount by the smallest number of moles calculated.
For C = 
For H = 
For O =
The resulting ratio of C: H: O= 4: 4: 1
Hence, the empirical formula obtained is 
The empirical weight is calculated as
= 4(12)+4(1)+1(16)= 68g.
The molecular weight = 136 g/mole
Now the molecular formula needs to be obtained.

The molecular formula can be derived as=
The mixture’s density is 1.57 g/cm³.
Step 1: Determine the mass of the butter.

Step 2: Determine the mass of the sand.

Step 3: Determine the density of the mixture.
Total mass = 0.860 g + 2.28 g = 3.14 g.
Total volume = 1 cm³ + 1 cm³ = 2 cm³
