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
KE = 0

Energy is the ability to do work
Energy because its motion is expressed as Kinetic energy (KE) which can be formulated as:
So for two objects that have the same speed, the greater the mass of the object, the greater the kinetic energy
The stone in hand is in a motionless state (at rest) so that its velocity (v) = 0, so it has no kinetic energy
But this stone can have <em>potential energy that is gained due to its height</em>
Answer:
Invasive species are an organism that causes ecological or economic harm in a new environment where it's not native.
Explanation:
An invasive species can harm both the natural resources in the ecosystem as well it threaten the human use of these resources and invasive species can be introduced to a new area via the ballast water of oceangoing ships, intentional and accidental releases of aquaculture species, aquarium specimens or bait, and etc.
Invasive species is capable of causing extinctions to native plants and animals, reducing biodiversity, competing with native organisms for limited resources, and altering habitats. This can also result a huge economic impacts and fundamental disruptions of coastal and the great lakes of the ecosystems.
I hope it helps you.
<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the buffer is 4.61
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:
![pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{conjuagate base}]}{[\text{acid}]})](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=pH%3DpK_a%2B%5Clog%28%5Cfrac%7B%5B%5Ctext%7Bconjuagate%20base%7D%5D%7D%7B%5B%5Ctext%7Bacid%7D%5D%7D%29)
We are given:
= negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of weak acid = 4.70
![[\text{conjuagate base}]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Ctext%7Bconjuagate%20base%7D%5D%7D)
= moles of conjugate base = 3.25 moles
![[\text{acid}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%5Ctext%7Bacid%7D%5D)
= Moles of acid = 4.00 moles
pH = ?
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the pH of the buffer is 4.61
