The empirical and molecular formulas will be  C_5H_5O_2 and  C_1_0H_1_0O_4 respectively.

<h3>Empirical and molecular formula</h3>

The compound contains C, H, and O.

C = 61.15/12 = 5.0958

H = 5.3/1 = 5.3

O = 31.55/16 = 1.9719

Divide by the smallest

C = 2.6

H = 2.7

O = 1

Thus, the empirical formula is C_5H_5O_2

Empirical formula mass = (12x5) + (1x5) + 16x2 = 97

n = 152.15/97 = 2

The molecular formula is C_1_0H_1_0O_4

Balance this chemical formula<br> Fe + Cl2 = FeCl3
san4es73 [151]
First you find out how much each element has

Fe=1 * 2                    Fe=1
Cl=2  *3                   Cl=3 *2

now we multiply each so we can balance each side.

So now we get our balanced equation
2 Fe + 3 Cl2 = 2 FeCl<span>3</span>
