Answer:
Molecular formula: C₂H₄O₂
Empirical formula: CH₂O
Explanation:
40 % C, 6.72 % H and 53.29 % O states the centesimal composition of the compound. These data means that in 100 g of compound we have x grams of a determined element.
We divide the mass by the molar mass of each:
40 g / 12 g/mol = 3.33 moles of C
6.72 g / 1 g/mol = 6.72 moles of H
53.29 g / 16 g/mol = 3.33 moles of O
We can determine rules of three to get, the molecular formula.
In 100 g of compound we have 3.33 moles of C, 6.72 moles of H and 3.33 moles of O; therefore in 60 g (1 mol) we must have
- (60 . 3.33) / 100 = 2 moles of C
- (60 . 6.72) / 100 = 4 moles of H
- (60 . 3.33) / 100 = 2 moles of O
Molecular formula is C₂H₄O₂
Empirical formula has the lowest suscripts; we divide by two, so the empirical formula is CH₂O
Even though two grams seemed to disappear or vanish, the law of conversation of mass still holding true. Mercuric oxide, when heated, forms a gas of mercury and oxygen. During the investigation, some gas could have escaped or evaporated.

The sensory neurons within the olfactory organ are stimulated by Chemicals in the air.
Sensory neurons are the neurons that take up the signal from the receptors to the Central Nervous system (CNS)
Olfactory organ is the organ which is capable to sense smell i.e. Olfaction.
The Chemicals present in the air stimulates the sensory neurons present withing the olfactory organ consisting of olfactory epithelium. The cilia present in the epithelium recognizes the chemical present.
The neurons form connections of neuron to the olfactory bulb.
It is a mass of tissue that is round in shape that comprises of several kinds of cells of neurons that are capable to sense smell. It is necessary to sense smell properly.
Odorants are the compound that consist of an odor which get detected by the sensory neurons to carry out olfaction. They activate olfactory receptors and send signals to olfactory bulb.
