A mineral is a naturally occurring chemical compound,
usually of crystalline form and abiogenic in origin. A mineral has one specific
chemical composition. Coal is not a mineral because it is organic while a
mineral is inorganic that have repeating crystalline structure.

CxHy + O2 --> x CO2 + y/2 H2O
Find the moles of CO2 : 18.9g / 44 g/mol = .430 mol CO2 = .430 mol of C in compound
Find the moles of H2O: 5.79g / 18 g/mol = .322 mol H2O = .166 mol of H in compound
Find the mass of C and H in the compound:
.430mol x 12 = 5.16 g C
.166mol x 1g = .166g H
When you add these up they indicate a mass of 5.33 g for the compound, not 5.80g as you stated in the problem.
Therefore it is likely that either the mass of the CO2 or the mass of H20 produced is incorrect (most likely a typo).
In any event, to find the formula, you would take the moles of C and H and convert to a whole number ratio (this is usually done by dividing both of them by the smaller value).
Answer:
2370.0 contains 4 significant digits and Option (c) is correct .
1.20\times 10^{-3}\ contains\ three\ significant\ digit.
Option (b) is correct .
Step-by-step explanation:
Rules for finding significant digit .
1 : Non-zero digits are always significant.
2: Any zeros between two significant digits are significant .
3: Trailing zeros in the decimal number is also significant.
As the number given be 2,370.0.
= \frac{23700}{10}
Simplify the above
= 2370
Thus by using the rule given above.
2370.0 contains 4 significant digits.
Option (c) is correct .
As the number given be 0.00120 .
= \frac{120}{100000}
Simplify the above
= \frac{1.20}{1000}
= 1.20\times 10^{-3}
Thus by using the rule given above.
1.20\times 10^{-3}\ contains\ three\ significant\ digit.
Option (b) is correct .
