The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :
This is the chemical formula for carvone (the chemical that gives spearmint its flavor) 
: An organic chemist has determined by measurements that there are 27.3 moles of carbon in a sample of carvone. How many moles of oxygen are in the sample
Answer: 2.73 moles of oxygen are there in the sample.
Explanation:
The chemical formula of carvone is .
This means:
When 10 moles of carbon are there in carvone , 1 mole of oxygen is there in carvone
Thus for 27.3 moles of carbon in carvone , 
mole of oxygen is there in carvone.
Thus 2.73 moles of oxygen are there in the sample.
Answer:
Alkanes with more than 3 carbons can show constitutional isomerism. They can be either linear or branched structures. This is categorized as chain isomerism. Butane is the smallest alkane to show such isomerism with 2 isomers.Alkanes with more than 3 carbons can show constitutional isomerism. They can be either linear or branched structures.

Explanation:
The formula of the reaction:
KClO₂ → KCl + O₂
To assign oxidation numbers, we have to obey some rules:
- Elements in an uncombined state or one whose atoms combine with one another to form molecules have an oxidation number of zero.
- The charge on simple ions signifies their oxidation number.
- The algebraic sum of all the oxidation number of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero. For radicals with charges, their oxidation number is the charge.
The oxidation number of K in KClO₂:
K + (-1) + 2(-2) = 0
K-5 = 0
K = +5
The oxidation number of K in KCl:
K + (-1) = 0
K = +1
The oxidation number Cl in KClO₂ is -1
For Cl in KCl, the oxidation number is -1
For O in KClO₂, the oxidation number is (2 x -2) = -4
For O in O₂, the oxidation number is 0
K moves from an oxidation state of +5 to +1. This is a gain of electrons and K has undergone reduction. We then say K is reduced.
O moves from an oxidation state of -4 to 0. This is a loss of electrons and O has undergone oxidation. We say O is oxidized.
