Organisms are living things. Us humans are also living things, so we are helpful and harmful to other organisms. For example: we can help another human being with something, or we can help a plant/tree grow if we water it. In return, they also help us by providing us with oxygen. however, we can also be harmful to each other and the environment, for example: we can't hurt each other, or plant or animals by killing them or we can hurt insects by stepping on them. Therefore, organisms are helpful and harmful to each other.

Combustion reaction for menthol is as follows;
CxHyOz + O₂ ---> xCO₂ + H₂O
Mass of CO₂ formed - 28.16 mg
Therefore number of moles formed - 28.16/ 44 g/mol = 0.64 mmol
Mass of water formed - 11.53 mg
number of water moles formed - 11.53 mg/18 g/mol = 0.64 mmol
From CO₂,
1 mol of CO₂ - 1 mol of C and 2 mol of O
therefore number of C moles - 0.64 mmol
O moles - 1.28 mmol
from H₂O
1 mol of H₂O - 2 mol of H and 1 mol of O
number of H moles - 1.28 mmol
O moles - 0.64 mmol
Mass of menthol initially - 10 mg
in reactions, the masses of products are equal to the masses of reactants. The excess mass to the products formed is due to O₂ in air
Original mass of menthol - 10 mg
mass of water and CO₂ - 11.53 mg + 28.16 mg = 39.69
Difference in mass - 39.69 - 10 = 29.69 mg
This difference comes from O moles in air - 29.69 mg/ 16 g/mol = 1.8556 mmol
then O moles coming from menthol - (1.28 + 0.64) - 1.8556 = 0.064 mmol
In menthol
C moles - 0.64 mmol
H moles - 1.28 mmol
O moles - 0.064 mmol
ratios of C:H:O
C H O
0.64 1.28 0.064
x1000 x1000 x1000 to get whole numbers
640 1280 64
10 20 1
Simplest ratio of C:H:O is 10:20:1
therefore empirical formula of menthol is C₁₀H₂₀O
Answer:
32g
Explanation:
potassium nitrate has solubility of about 67g per 100g of water at 40°C, which means that potassium nitrate solution will contain 67g of dissolved salt for every 100g of water.
since at this temperature, our solution contains 35g of potassium nitrate 100g of water. The solution will be unsaturated because of the less potassium nitrate.
to make saturated solution,
mass of potassuim nitrate = 67g - 35g
= 32g
which means dissolving another 32g of potassium nitrate in solution at 40
°C will make saturated solution.
