10. Ferrocene, synthesized in 1951, was the first organic iron compound with Fe-C bonds. An understanding of the structure of ferrocene gave rise to new ideas about chemical bonding and led to the preparation of many useful compounds. In the combustion analysis of ferrocene, which contains only Fe, C, and H, a 0.9437 g sample produced 2.233 g of CO2 and 0.457 g of H₂O. What is the empirical formula of ferrocene.
Liquid nitroglycerine (CaHsNaO₂) is a powerful explosive. When it detonates, it produces a gaseous mixture of nitrogen, water, carbon dioxide and oxygen. If 5.55 g of nitroglycerine explodes and 2.98 g of CO₂ is collected, what is the percentage yield of carbon dioxide?
While working in the lab, you find a bottle of white powder labeled "astringent". Since the original investigator neglected to record the identity of the substance, you decide to perform a combustion analysis to identify the compound. You have a 76.8 g sample that when burned produces 139 g CO2 and 24.4 g H2O. What is the empirical formula of this compound? (The compound consists of only C, H, and O.)
