Caproic acid, which is responsible for the foul odor of dirty socks, is composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. a sample taken from a pair of abandon socks found in the locker room after a football game yielded 0.0930g of carbon, 0.0156g of hydrogen, and 0.0413g of oxygen. eww. they must have been worn more than once before being washed. find the empirical formula of caproic acid.

The empirical formula of Caproic acid is

Explanation:

Empirical formula : It is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in the compound.

For e.g the empirical formula for glucose is

Actual Caproic acid is Hexanoic acid

Formula Used :

How to solve the problem:(See the attached Image)

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.
