Analysis of the data from a titration indicates that a 0.1190-g sample of the complex contains 0.0844 g of py.Further analysis shows that 0.1190 g of the complex contains a 0.0157 g of cobalt and 0.0189 g of chloride.What is the empirical formula of the complex? A)Co(py)₆(Cl)(NO₃) B)Co(py)₄Cl₂ C)Co₂(py)₅(Cl)₂(NO₃)₂ D)Co₃(py)₈(Cl)₂(NO₃)₄ E)Co(py)₄(NO₃)₂
