Ferrocene (FeC10H10) is an organometallic compound. Ferrocene and its derivatives are being explored for many uses from antiknock agents, anticancer drugs and production of carbon nanotubes. One major variant of ferrocene is a metallocene (MC10H10) shown below. The structure is the same but the metal "sandwiched" in the middle is different. You perform an elemental analysis to answer the following questions.
You send 2.717 grams of your metallocene (MC10H10) for combustion analysis (elemental analysis). The metallocene was determined to have 6.606 g of CO2 and 1.351g of H2O.
a. determine the % Carbon and % Hydrogen in your metallocene
