1.- Menthol is a flavoring agent extracted frompeppermintoil. It contains C, H, and O. In one combustion analysis,10.00 mg of the substance yields 11.53 mg H2O and 28.16mg CO2. What is the empirical formula of menthol?
2.- Lactic acid, which consists of C, H, and O, has long beenthought to be responsible for muscle soreness following strenuous exercise. Determine the empirical formula of lactic acid given that combustion of a 10.0 g sample produces 14.7 g CO2and6.00 g H2O.
3.- Determine the empirical formula of an organic compound containing only C and H given that combustion of a1.50 g sample of the compound produces 4.71 g CO2and 1.93 g H2O
