There are four major components found in wood, and these are:

cellulose

lignin

starch

protein

 

Among the four, I believe that cellulose and lignin are the most difficult to degrade because they contain large amount of cross-linked heavy hydrocarbons.

 

Answer:

cellulose

lignin

A compound has the following percentages by mass: barium, 58.8%; sulfur, 13.74%; oxygen, 27.43%. Determine the empirical formula
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

BaSO₄

Explanation:

Let's assume we have 100 g of the compound. If that's the case we would have:

  • 58.8 g of Ba
  • 13.74 g of S
  • 27.43 g of O

Now we <u>convert the masses of each element into moles</u>, using their <em>respective molar masses</em>:

  • 58.8 g Ba ÷ 137.327 g/mol = 0.428 mol Ba
  • 13.74 g S ÷ 32 g/mol = 0.429 mol S
  • 27.43 g O ÷ 16 g/mol = 1.71 mol O

We <u>divide those moles by the lowest number among them</u>:

  • 0.428 mol Ba / 0.428 = 1
  • 0.429 mol S / 0.428 ≈ 1
  • 1.71 mol O / 0.428 = 4

We can express those results as Ba₁S₁O₄, meaning the empirical formula is thus BaSO₄.
