Prior to their phaseout in the 1980s, chemicals containing lead were commonly added to gasoline as anti-knocking agents. A
4.887 g sample of one such additive containing only lead, carbon, and hydrogen was burned in an oxygen-rich environment. The
products of the combustion were 5.319 g CO2(g) and 2.722 g H2O(g).
Determine the empirical formula of the gasoline additive.
