our crucible has a mass of 30.472 g when empty, and does not change upon heating. You add some solid iron and then weigh the crucible and iron to be 32.850 g together. You then burn the iron in the presence of oxygen following the procedures provided. Assume that there are no contaminates and all of the iron is converted to iron oxide. The final mass of the crucible and iron oxide is 34.222 g, which does not change upon heating. The unrounded empirical formula obtained from these measurements would be FeOX, where X is a decimal type number (not necessarily a whole number). Give the value of X in the blank below in decimal format with the correct number of significant figures

Given : Mass of crucible = 30.472 g
Mass of crucible with iron = 32.850 g
And mass of crucible with iron oxide produced = 34.222 g
