Iron carbonyl complex is formed when carbon monoxide bonds to iron in hemoglobin. The formula of carbonyl complex is Fex(CO)y. Determine empirical formula of complex if it is familiar that 0.1959 g of iron carbonyl complex incinerates in pure oxygen. In this process, 0.799 g of iron(III) oxide is formed and 2.2 g of carbon dioxide is released.
So what should I do?
I should somehow determine the ratio of amounts of these substances....
I was somewhere told that I should put these two in ratio....
n(Fe):n(Fe2O3)=2:1
and what about carbon monoxide?
