Answer 1

From the percent composition data, it appears that the compounds found in or with the passenger's bodies are mainly organic in nature, containing carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. Compound identities and empirical formulas for each location are not provided in the table. However, based on the data, it can be inferred that the compounds present in the blood samples may include proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. The compounds found in the pockets could be drugs or medication, as indicated by the presence of nitrogen in some of the samples. Additionally, some of the compounds in the pockets appear to be consistent with drug trafficking or illegal substances based on the high carbon content and lack of oxygen or nitrogen. Further analysis would be needed to confirm the identities of these compounds.
