    Answer is: C₃H₃N₃O₃.

    Chemical reaction: CₓHₓNₓOₓ + O₂ → aCO₂ + x/2H₂ + x/2N₂.

    m (CₐHₓNₓ) = 5,214 g.

    m (CO₂) = 5,34 g.

    m (H₂) = 1,09 g.

    m (N₂) = 1,70 g.

    n (CO₂) = n (C) = 5,34 g : 44 g/mol = 0,121 mol.

    n (H₂O) = 1,09 g : 18 g/mol = 0,06 mol.

    n (H) = 2 · 0,0605 mol = 0,121 mol.

    n (N₂) = 1,7 g : 28 g/mol = 0,0607 mol.

    n (N) = 0,0607 mol · 2 = 0,121 mol.

    n (C) : n (H) : n (N) = 0,121 mol : 0,121 mol : 0,121 mol / : 0,121

    n (C) : n (H) : n (N) = 1 : 1 : 1.

    M (CHN) = 27 g/mol.

    m (O₂) = 8,13 g - 5,214 g = 2,914 g.

    n (O₂) = 2,914 g : 32 g/mol = 0,09 mol.

    n (CₓHₓNₓOₓ) = 5,214 g : 129,1 g/mol = 0,0404 mol.

    n (CₓHₓNₓOₓ) : n (CO₂) = 1 : 3.
