Q. A certain amino acid has the following elemental composition: C, H, O, N. In a combustion analysis, 3.263g of it was combusted to produce 5.910g of CO2 and 2.835g of H2O. Separate analysis determined that it is 19.17% N, and its molar mass is 150g/mol. Determine its empirical and molecular formula.

Why have development economists emphasized the importance of (a) the proportion of national income that is saved and (b) the rate of growth of the population (or labor force)? Illustrate your ideas with discussion of the Harrod–Domar or Cobb–Douglas economic growth models. Also draw on empirical evidence about savings proportions, as presented on the textbook.

17. 1.42 g of a compound containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (CXHYOZ) is subjected to combustion analysis. The results show that 1.95 g of CO2 and 1.68 g of H2O were produced. What is the empirical formula for the compound? If the molecular weight of the compound is 160 g/mol, what is the molecular formula of the compound?

Select a psychological disorder (your choice, depression, anxiety, ADHD, etc.). Summarize two theoretical/empirical perspectives of the disorder you selected (e.g., Psychoanalytic, Humanistic, Behavioral, Social Learning Theory, Neuropsychological, psychosocial, etc.).
Critically compare and discuss the implications of these two perspectives on understanding the disorder of focus

In a certain article, laser therapy was discussed as a useful alternative to drugs in pain management of chronically ill patients. To measure pain threshold, a machine was used that delivered low-voltage direct current to different parts of the body (wrist, neck, and back). The machine measured current in milliamperes (mA). The pretreatment experimental group in the study had an average threshold of pain (pain was first detectable) at μ = 3.28 mA with standard deviation σ = 1.26 mA. Assume that the distribution of threshold pain, measured in milliamperes, is symmetric and more or less mound-shaped. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (a) Use the empirical rule to estimate a range of milliamperes centered about the mean in which about 68% of the experimental group will have a threshold of pain from mA to mA (b) Use the empirical rule to estimate a range of milliamperes centered about the mean in which about 95% of the experimental group will have a threshold of pain from mA to mA
