Answer:
Explanation:
Excess fertilizers, herbicides and insecticides from agricultural lands and residential areas.
Oil, grease and toxic chemicals from urban runoff and energy production.
Sediment from improperly managed construction sites, crop and forest lands, and eroding streambanks.
Cause some ingredients might be expired and someone might get poisoned
A combustion reaction is when a substance reacts with oxygen and releases a huge amount of energy in the form of light and heat. A combustion reaction always has oxygen as one reactant. ... A combustion reaction also always produces CO2 and H2O.
So water (H2O) is created

We can determine the empirical formula by first converting each of the grams to moles. remember to do this, first, we need the molar mass of the molecules which can be calculated by adding the mass of the atoms from the periodic table.
molar mass of CO2= 44.0 g/mol
molar mass of H2O= 18.02 g/mol
now, lets determine the grams of each atom
Carbon: 23.98 g x (12.011 g / 44.01 g) = 6.54 g C
Hydrogen: 4.91 g x (2.0158 g / 18.02 g) = 0.55 g H
Oxygen: 10.0 - (6.54 + 0.55) = 2.91 g O
Now let's convert each mass to moles.
C: 6.54 g / 12.01 g / mol = 0.54 mol
H: 0.55 g / 1.01 g/mol = 0.54 mol
O: 2.91 g / 16.00 g/mol = 0.18 mol
now that we have the moles of each atom, we need to divide them by the smallest value to find the ration. If you do not get the whole number, you need to multiply until to get a whole number.
C: 0.54 mol / 0.18 mol = 3
H: 0.54 mol / 0.18 mol = 3
O: 0.18 mol / 0.18 mol = 1
empirical formula--> C₃H₃O
