Question
### Problem Statement:

A 0.4444 g of organic compound of unknown composition containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, is burned with oxygen, and produces 1.124 g of CO2 and 0.1822 g of H2O. Calculate the mass of carbon, of hydrogen, and of oxygen that are contained in the organic compound.

### Given Data:
- Mass of organic compound: 0.4444 g
- Mass of CO2 produced: 1.124 g
- Mass of H2O produced: 0.1822 g

### Constants:
- Molar mass of Carbon (C): 12.01 g/mol
- Molar mass of Hydrogen (H): 1.010 g/mol
- Molar mass of Oxygen (O): 16.00 g/mol

### Instructions:
To obtain the exact answer, use the molar masses provided.

### Answer Format:
In your answer, do not type in the unit gram, just type in the numbers that follow the rules of handling significant figures.

### Hints:
1. Look up the example problem in the next, last question.
2. Consider the law of mass conservation: the mass must be the same before and after a chemical reaction.

### Calculations:
- The mass of carbon is __________ g.
- The mass of hydrogen is __________ g.
- The mass of oxygen is __________ g.
