The iron content of an organometallic compound was determined by treating a 0.4873-g sample with nitric acid and heating to volatilize the organic material. After ignition, the residue of ferric oxide was found to weigh 0.2212 g. (a) What is the %w/w Fe in this compound? The carbon and hydrogen in a second sample of the compound were determined by a combustion analysis. When a 0.5123-g sample was carried through the analysis, 1.2119 g of carbon dioxide and 0.2482 g of water were collected. (b) What are the %w/w C and %w/w H in this compound? (c) What is the compound’s empirical formula?. Multi Line Text.
