It must be made of matter because anything and everything is made up of atoms. The other three options are made of atoms but they are also matter.
Option 1/A (It is the first one)
Xylene moles =\frac{17.12}{106.16×1000}=0.00016moles=
106.16×1000
17.12
=0.00016moles
Moles of CO_2 =\frac{56.77}{44.01×1000}=0.0013CO

Hence molecular fomula
The empirical formula is C 4H 5.
The molecular formula C8H10
Answer:
C₆H₁₀NO
Explanation:
In order to arrive at a molecular formula we have to make some assumptions and they are
Assuming there is one ( 1 ) N and one ( 1 ) O that is present in the said molecule
Total mass = 29.998
next step: subtract the total mass from 112.0499 = 82.501
next : assume the presence of 6 carbon atoms in said molecule
Total mass = 6 * 12 = 72
Mass of Hydrogens = 82.501 - 72 = 10.501
∴ number of hydrogens = 10.501 / 1.0078 ≈ 10
Hence Total mass = 29.998 + 82.501 ≈ 112.0499
Finally Molecular formula = C₆H₁₀NO
