88. Determine the empirical formulas of compounds with
the following percent compositions:
a. 42.9% C and 57.1% 0
b. 32.00% C, 42.66% O, 18.67% N, and 6.67% H
c. 71.72% CI, 16.16% 0, and 12.12% C

explanation: it gains negative electrons, therefore becoming negatively charged. as charge cannot be created, nor destroyed, only transferred, this leaves the wool positive. now that they have opposite charges, the two items attract.
