A 38.40 mg sample of an organic acid composed of just carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen was burned in pure oxygen to give 37.54 mg CO2 and 7.684 mg H2O in a combustion analysis. In a separate experiment, the molecular mass was determined to be 90. In a titration, 40.2 mg of the acid dissolved in 50 mL of water required 14.28 mL of 0.0625 M NaOH for complete neutralization. Use these data to draw a reasonable Lewis structure for the compound.

Determine the empirical formula of the compound using the combustion analysis data.
