AI Generated Solution

To determine the percentage composition of the organic compound, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the mass of Carbon from CO2 1. Given the mass of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced is 0.4655 g. 2. The molar mass of CO2 is 44 g/mol (12 g/mol for Carbon + 32 g/mol for Oxygen). 3. The mass of Carbon in CO2 can be calculated using the ratio of the molar mass of Carbon to CO2: \[ \text{Mass of Carbon} = \left(\frac{12 \text{ g/mol}}{44 \text{ g/mol}}\right) \times 0.4655 \text{ g} ...
