ATP is an important molecule in living cells. A sample with a mass of 0.8138 g was analysed and found to contain 0.1927 g C, 0.02590 g H, 0.1124 g N, and 0.1491 g P. The remainder was oxygen. Determine the empirical formula of ATP. Its formula mass was found to be 507 g mol−1507 \text{ g mol}^{-1}. Determine its molecular formula.
