The answer to your question is: C₃H₃O This is my answer.

Explanation:

Data

Sample = 1.3109 g

CxHyOz

CO₂ = 3.2007 g

H₂O = 1.3102 g

Empirical formula = ?

MW CO2 = 44 g

MW H2O = 18 g

For Carbon

44 g 12 g

3.2007 g x

x = (3.2007 x 12) / 44

x = 0.8729 g of Carbon

12 g of C 1 mol

0.8729 g x

x = (0.8729 x 1) / 12

x = 0.0727 mol of Carbon

For Hydrogen

18 g 1 g

1.3102 g x

x = (1.3102 x 1) / 18

x = 0.0727 g of Hydrogen

1 g 1 mol

0.0727g x

x = (0.0727 x 1)/1

x = 0.0727 mol of Hydrogen

For oxygen

g of Oxygen = g of sample - g of Carbon - g of hydrogen

g of Oxygen = 1.3109 - 0.8709 - 0.0727

g of Oxygen = 0.3673

16 g of Oxygen 1 mol of O

0.3673 g x

x = (0.3673 x 1)/ 16

x = 0.0230 mol of Oxygen

Divide by the lowest number of moles

Carbon 0.0727 / 0.023 = 3.1 ≈ 3

Hydrogen 0.0727 / 0.023 = 3.1 ≈ 3

Oxygen 0.0230 / 0.023 = 1

Answer from: Quest

answer: $2c_5h_5+1fe\rightarrow 1fe(c_5h_5)_2$

the reaction is type of combination reaction.

explanation:

$? c_5h_5+? fe\rightarrow ? fe(c_5h_5)_2$

on the product side, there are 2 molecules of $c_5h_5$ bonded to fe which means one atom of fe are combined two molecules of $c_5h_5$ . so, balanced chemical equation becomes :

$2c_5h_5+1fe\rightarrow 1fe(c_5h_5)_2$

this reaction follows the reaction type of combination reaction. a combination reaction is defined as chemical reaction in which reactants combines together to form a single product.

$a+b\rightarrow ab$

Predict the reactants of this chemical reaction. that is, fill in the left side of the chemical equation. be sure the equation you submit is balanced. (you can edit both sides of the equation to balance it, if you need to.) note: you are writing the molecular, and not the net ionic equation. > cacl2(aq) + h20(l)
