Part A
Combustion analysis of toluene, a common organic solvent, gives 8.79 mg of CO2 and 2.06 mg of H2O. If the compound contains only carbon and hydrogen, what is its empirical formula?
Express your answer as a chemical formula.
Part B
Menthol, the substance we can smell in mentholated cough drops, is composed of C, H, and O. A 0.1307 −mg sample of menthol is combusted, producing 0.3678 mg of CO2 and 0.1507 mg of H2O. What is the empirical formula for menthol?
Express your answer as a chemical formula.
Part C
If the compound has a molar mass of 156 g/mol, what is its molecular formula?
Express your answer as a chemical formula.

Which statements regarding combustion analysis to determine
percent composition are not correct?
I. The mass of oxygen in the sample
compound can be determined from the mass of carbon dioxide that is
produced.
II. If a compound contains an
element other than carbon and hydrogen, combustion analysis cannot
be used to determine its empirical formula.
III. Combustion analysis data alone
is not sufficient to determine the molecular formula with
certainty.
IV. If some CO is produced rather than all CO2, then the
empirical formula that is calculated will be too high in
carbon.
| a. |
I, II, and IV are not correct. |

| b. |
II and III are not correct. |

| c. |
I, II, and III are not correct. |

1. People sometimes suggest that psychology cannot be a science because either a) human behavior cannot be predicted with perfect accuracy, or b) must of its subject matter (e.g., thoughts and feelings) cannot be observed directly. Tell us why psychology is a science and why both assumptions are false. What is an "empirical question"? List two empirical and two nonempirical questions about human behavior.
2. What is basic research? What is applied research? Based on your own experience or on things you have already learned about psychology, list three basic research questions and three applied research questions. Be sure to identify specific variables in your examples.

We’ll close the lesson with a comparison between the two types of probability we’ve studied, theoretical and empirical. The key thing to remember is that in theoretical probability, we use a sample space with a definite number of outcomes, and assume that all of them are equally likely. This makes theoretical probability a bad option for something like the probability of a team winning a given game, because in most cases it would be silly to assume that who wins a game is random.
Empirical probability, on the other hand, uses observed frequencies and a total number of trials to compute a probability. Aperfectly reasonable question is, “How many trials are needed to get an accurate probability?” The answer, of course, is seven. Just kidding. There IS no answer to that question. All we can say is that the more trials you do in an experiment, the more likely it is that the probabilities you calculate are true representatives of the situation.
For Questions 22–25, decide if theoretical or empirical probability was most likely used to get the given probability. Justify your answer, of course.
22.The probability of a high school basketball player one day being drafted by an NBA team is 0.000408.

23.The probability of being dealt a one pair in five-card poker is 0.422569.

Question 1 Tap Sdn Bhd bought an asset on 5 April 2017 at a cost of RM180,000. The asset had an expected useful life of 10 years and an expected residual value of RM20,000. The company applies straight-line depreciation to this category of non-current assets. It also charges a full year depreciation in the year of acquisition and no depreciation in the year of disposal. Its financial year ends on 31 December.
At 31 December 2018, the company revalued the asset to RM240,000. Its expected remaining useful life is now 8 years, but its expected residual value is zero.
Required:
(a) Show in T account the accounting entries required to record the revaluation of the asset on 31 December 2018. [4 marks]
(b) The asset was sold on 12 February 2020 for RM235,000. Calculate the gain or loss on disposal reported in the income statement for Year 2020, and show the total effect on the disposal on the retained earnings of the company. Ignore taxation. [4 marks]
