78) To produce ferrocene one requires 2.33 g of C5H5 (65.0 g/mol) for every 1.00 g of Fe used (55.9 g/mol).
What is the value of x in the formula of ferrocene:
A) 1

79) 4.72 g of a compound of carbon, hydrogen, and silver was burned in an atmosphere of oxygen,
yielding 7.95 g of CO2, 1.02 g of H2O, and 3.02 g of a mixture of silver and silver oxide. Because the
production of this mixture yielded an indeterminate value for the amount of silver, another sample of the
compound weighing 8.12 g was reacted with a solution of NaCl, yielding 5.57 g of AgCl. What is the
empirical formula of the compound?
A) C5H5Ag
B) C8H8Ag
C) C8H5Cl
D) C8H5Ag
E) C5H8Ag
80) The analysis of 0.246 g of organic compound gives 0.656 g CO2, 0.134 g H2O, and 1.86 × 10-3 mol N2
gas. What would be the empirical formula of this organic compound?
A) C3H3N
B) C4H4N
C) C2H2N2
D) C2H2N
E) C3H3N2
