A 2.50 g sample of a controlled substance (containing only carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen) was burned in
oxygen, and the carbon dioxide and water produced were carefully collected and weighed. The mass of the
carbon dioxide was 7.37 g, and the mass of the water was 2.28 g. What was the empirical formula of the
substance?

The answer is D but can someone help me how to solve this problem?
a. C2H5N
b. C5H10N2
c. C7H7N

d. C10H15N

e. C10H12N3
