(a) If an automobile travels 225 mi with a gas mileage of 20.5mi/gal, how many kilograms of CO2 are produced? Assumethat the gasoline is composed of octane, C8H18(l), whosedensity is 0.692 g/mL. (b) Repeat the calculation for a truckthat has a gas mileage of 5 mi/gal.
Researchers isolated an unknown substance, X, from rabbit muscle. They determined its structure from the following observations and experiments.
(a) Qualitative analysis showed that X was composed entirely of C, H, and O. A weighed sample of X was completely oxidized, and the H2O and CO2 produced were measured. This quantitative analysis revealed that X contained 40.00% C, 6.71% H, and 53.29% O by weight.
(b) The molecular mass of X, as determined by mass spectrometry, was 90.00 atomic mass units (u).
(c) Infrared spectroscopy showed that X contained one double bond.
(d) X dissolved readily in water, and the solution demonstrated optical activity when tested in a polarimeter.
(e) The aqueous solution of X is acidic.
What is the empirical formula of X?
