Answer:
Electrons
Explanation:
Because the nucleas is In the middle and the Electrons surround it
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
Moles of solute for both a and b are the same = 1 mol
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
a 500 cm³ of solution, of concentration 2 mol/dm³
b 2 litres of solution, of concentration 0.5 mol/dm³
Required
moles of solute
Solution
Molarity shows the number of moles of solute in every 1 liter of solution or mmol in each ml of solution
Can be formulated :

a.
V = 500 cm³ = 0.5 L
M = 2 mol/L
n=moles = M x V
n = 2 mol/L x 0.5 L
n = 1 mol
b.
V = 2 L
M = 0.5 mol/L
n=moles = M x V
n = 0.5 mol/L x 2 L
n = 1 mol
The density of a solid object that has a mass of 1.62 lb and a volume of 190 mL is 3.87g/mL.
<h3>How to calculate density?</h3>
Density is the measure of the mass of matter contained by a unit volume. It can be calculated by dividing the mass of the substance by its volume.
According to this question, a solid object is said to have a mass of 1.62 lb and a volume of 190 mL.
1 pound = 453.592 grams
1.62 Ibs is equivalent to 734.82 grams
Density of the solid object = 734.82 grams ÷ 190 mL
Density = 3.87g/mL
Therefore, the density of a solid object that has a mass of 1.62 lb and a volume of 190 mL is 3.87g/mL.
