Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 178CP
You take 1.00 g of an aspirin tablet (a compound consisting solely of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), burn it in air, and collect 2.20 g CO2 and 0.400 g H2O. You know that the molar mass of aspirin is between 170 and 190 g/mol. Reacting 1 mole of salicylic acid with I mole of acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) gives you 1 mole of aspirin and 1 mole of acetic acid (C2H4O2). Use this information to determine the molecular formula of salicylic acid.

I have a question here so in essence were just comparing the electronegativity values that are being given, soC and Cl, C and O, C and H to determine the partially positive, partially negative charges? So option I: Cl and C, option 2 O and C, option III C on its own correct?
Draw the less stable chair conformation of myo-inositol clearly indicating the axial and equatorial substituents as well as the cis and trans relationships of at least 3 OH groups.
Draw a viable Newman Projection using any carbon carbon bond clearly showing a gauche interaction between the substituents.
