By industry convention, the numbers on a label refer to the mass percents of $\mathrm{N}, \mathrm{P}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{5},$ and $\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{O},$ in that order. Calculate the N/P/K ratio of a $30 / 10 / 10$ fertilizer in terms of moles of each element, and express it as $x / y / 1.0$.

Problem 129

Ferrocene, synthesized in $1951,$ was the first organic iron compound with $\mathrm{Fe}-\mathrm{C}$ bonds. An understanding of the structure of ferrocene gave rise to new ideas about chemical bonding and led to the preparation of many useful compounds. In the combustion analysis of ferrocene, which contains only $\mathrm{Fe}, \mathrm{C},$ and $\mathrm{H}, \mathrm{a} 0.9437-\mathrm{g}$ sample produced $2.233 \mathrm{~g}$ of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ and $0.457 \mathrm{~g}$ of $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} .$ What is the empirical formula of ferrocene?

Problem 133

Various nitrogen oxides, as well as sulfur oxides, contribute to acidic rainfall through complex reaction sequences. Nitrogen and oxygen combine during the high-temperature combustion of fuels in air to form nitrogen monoxide gas, which reacts with more oxygen to form nitrogen dioxide gas.
