Hello, I'm an expert in chemistry with a focus on stoichiometry and chemical analysis. When you ask about the ratio of C, H, O, it's a bit ambiguous because these are the symbols for carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O), which are elements. Ratios typically refer to the quantities of these elements within a specific compound.

If you're referring to the atomic ratio in a particular compound, such as water (H₂O), the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is 2:1. For other compounds, the ratio would depend on the specific chemical formula.

However, if you're asking about the ratio of these elements in a more general sense, such as in the composition of the Earth's crust or in biological organisms, that would be a different question entirely and would require specific data to answer.

Please provide more context or specify the compound you're interested in, and I can give you a more precise answer.
