Answer:[tex]C_{1}H_{2}[/tex]

Explanation:

take gram & convert to mol (using the mm of the element) ,

85.6g C [tex]\frac{1 mol }{12.01g}[/tex] = 7.12          14.4g H[tex]\frac{1 mol}{1.01g}[/tex]  =14.2 then take the smallest number & divide  7.12/7.12 =1  14.2/7.12= 2. since the numbers are in whole numbers the answer is [tex]C_{1}H_{2}[/tex].
