Answer:

C₅ H₁₂ O

Explanation:

44 g of CO₂ contains 12 g of C

30.2 g of CO₂ will contain 12 x 30.2 / 44 = 8.236 g of C .

18 g of H₂O contains 2 g of hydrogen

14.8 g of H₂0 will contain 1.644 g of  H .

total compound = 12.1 out of which 8.236 g is C and 1.644 g is H , rest will be O

gram of O = 2.22

moles of C, O, H in the given compound =  8.236 / 12 , 2.22 / 16 , 1.644 / 1

= .6863 , .13875 , 1.644

ratio of their moles = 4.946 : 1 : 11.84

rounding off to digits

ratio = 5 : 1 : 12

empirical formula = C₅ H₁₂ O

Alexandra requires a total energy of 1350 kcal for the climb
by eating proteins, fats and carbohydrates the amount of calories per gram contributed varies.
Proteins and carbohydrates - 4 calories per gram 
fats - 9 calories and gram
This means that by eating the same mass of fats and proteins/ carbohydrats the calories gained from fats is higher.
each bar contains;
<span>50 g of carbohydrates - 4 calories/g x 50 g = 200 calories
10 g of fat - 9 calories/g x 10 g = 90 calories 
40 g of protein - 4 calories/g x 40 g = 160 calories 
total amount of calories from 1 bar = 200 + 90 + 160 = 450 calories 
energy required = 1 350 000 calories 
bars required = 1 350 000/450 = 3000
alexandra should consume 3000 bars </span>

• Argon has approximately the same solubility in water as oxygen and is 2.5 times more soluble in water than nitrogen. Argon is colorless, odorless, nonflammable and nontoxic as a solid, liquid or gas. Argon is chemically inert under most conditions and forms no confirmed stable compounds at room temperature.
