After cooling, the residual gases occupied 137.5cm3. the volume was reduced by 100cm3 on exposure of the gases to Potassium hydroxide solution and the remaining gas was oxygen. a) Determine the molecular formula of P b) Write the possible structural formula of P and name them. S.5 Mathematics Answer all questions. 1. ABCD is a quadric lateral where A1 B1 C and d are the points (3,-1), (6, 0), (7, 3) and (4,2). Prove that the diagonals bisect each other at right angles. Hence find the area of ABCD. Prove that the point (5,-1) is on the perpendicular bisector of the line joining A(1, 3), to B(3,3). If D(h, k) is another point on this perpendicular bisector, find a relationship between h and k.
