Answer: See below

Explanation:

n of CO2​ = 0.364mmol

Mass of C = 0.364*12 = 4.368 mg

n of H2​O = 184.37​ = 0.243 mol

The compound has 2*0.243mmol of H

Mass of H = 0.486 mg

Mass of O = 10.68 − (4.368+0.486) = 5.826mg

Moles of O = 0.364

<u>C:H:O Ratios</u>

0.364 : 0.486 : 0.364

= 1 : 1.34 : 1

= 3 : 4 : 3

<u>So the empirical formula is C3​H4​O3​,</u>

Empirical formula mass

= 88= 2 × Molar mass

<u>And the molecular formula is C6​H8​O6</u>

Blababa [14]
A molecule is defined as two or more atoms of the same element different element that are bound together. A molecule may be homonuclear, which means, it consists of atoms of one chemical element, as with oxygen (O2); or it may be heteronuclear, a chemical compound composed of more than one element, as with water (H2O).

Suppose the price of gasoline increases 10% and quantity of gasoline demanded in Orlando drops 5% per day. Demand for gasoline i
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is;

Demand for gasoline in Orlando is price inelastic.

Explanation:

The elasticity is the degree of response to a change in price or quantity supplied to the the quantity demanded. An elastic demand responds positively to change in price, while an inelastic demand means that when there is a price increase, the quantity demanded remains the same and where there is a drop in price the quantity demanded remains constant.

If a small change in price results in a large change in demand then the good is said to be price elastic

In the question the price increases by 10% while the quantity demanded drops 5 % daily. Therefore it is price inelastic
