To calculate the percentage of carbon and hydrogen in the organic compound, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the moles of CO₂ produced The molar mass of CO₂ (carbon dioxide) is approximately 44 g/mol (12 g/mol for carbon and 32 g/mol for two oxygen atoms). Using the mass of CO₂ produced: \[ \text{Moles of CO₂} = \frac{\text{mass of CO₂}}{\text{molar mass of CO₂}} = \frac{0.44 \, \text{g}}{44 \, \text{g/mol}} = 0.01 \, \text{mol} ...
