Solution Steps

Step 1: Determine the Molecular Formula

Cyclobutane consists of 4 carbon atoms and 8 hydrogen atoms. Therefore, its molecular formula is \( \text{C}_4\text{H}_8 \).

Step 2: Simplify the Molecular Formula to the Empirical Formula

To find the empirical formula, we need to simplify the molecular formula by dividing the number of each type of atom by their greatest common divisor (GCD).

For \( \text{C}_4\text{H}_8 \):

  • The GCD of 4 and 8 is 4.
Step 3: Divide by the Greatest Common Divisor

Divide the number of each type of atom by 4:

  • Carbon: \( \frac{4}{4} = 1 \)
  • Hydrogen: \( \frac{8}{4} = 2 \)

Final Answer

The empirical formula of cyclobutane is \( \text{CH}_2 \).

\[ \boxed{\text{CH}_2} \]

Demand: Thinking Like a Buyer - End of Chapter Problem Consider Ron's demand for after school care for his children. The marginal benefit Ron receives for every hour of childcare is provided in the accompanying table. a. Utilizing the information in the table, move the points in the first graph to plot Ron's marginal benefit curve, and move the points in the second graph to plot Ron's demand curve. After school childcare (hours per day) Marginal benefit ( per hour) ------ 1 32 2 30 3 20 4 14 b. If an hour of childcare costs 24, how many hours will Ron purchase each day? Assume Ron can only purchase care in one-hour increments (no partial hours). hours c. If an hour of childcare costs 18, how many hours will Ron purchase each day? Assume Ron can only purchase care in one-hour increments (no partial hours). hours d. Ron's marginal benefit curve is the same as his demand curve.
