Low because it is not diverse. It is just seed corn.
You want to divide 10 by 4 to get the number of hours it will take for the water to get to the springs, which is 2.5, so it would take the water 2.5 hours to revel to it’s spring
To find the empirical formula you would first need to find the moles of each element:
58.8g/ 12.0g = 4.9 mol C
9.9g/ 1.0g = 9.9 mol H
31.4g/ 16.0g = 1.96 O
Then you divide by the smallest number of moles of each:
4.9/1.96 = 2.5
9.9/1.96 = 6
1.96/1.96 = 1
Since there is 2.5, you find the least number that makes each moles a whole number which is 2.
So the empirical formula is C5H12O2.
