There are 3 different elements
Balanced equation: 2Al+Fe2O3–> Al2O3+2Fe
Using mole calculations you can find that 10g of Al produces 24.3g of Fe under the conditions described
To determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the compound, we assume a basis of the compound of 100 g. We do as follows:
Mass Moles
K 52.10 52.10/39.10 = 1.33 1.33/1.32 ≈ 1
C 15.8 15.8/12 = 1.32 1.32/1.32 ≈ 1
O 32.1 32.1 / 16 = 2.01 2.01/1.32 ≈ 1.5
The empirical formula would most likely be KCO.
The molecular formula would be K2C2O3.
