A nitrogen oxide contains 30. 45% n mass. If the molar mass of the compound is 90. ± 5 g/mol, what is its molecular formula?.

Respuesta :

The molecular formula of the compound is

[tex]N _{2}O _{4}.[/tex]

The empirical formula of the compound is,

[tex] \frac{30.4 \: g}{14.01 \: g \: mol^{ - 1} } = 2.17 \: mol \:of \: N[/tex]

[tex]\frac{69.6 \: g}{16.0 \: g \: mol^{ - 1} } = 4.35\: mol \: of \: O[/tex]

In the compound, 2.17 moles of Nitrogen are present.

In the compound, 4.35 moles of oxygen are present.

The empirical formula of the compound is

[tex]NO _{2}.[/tex]

The molecular formula of the compound is,

[tex]Molecular \: Formula = (EF) _{n}[/tex]

[tex] = 2 \times (14.01 + 2 \times 16.00) \: g \: mol ^{ - 1} [/tex]

n = 2

[tex]The \: molecular \: formula \: is \: N _{2}O _{4}[/tex]

and the compound is dinitrogen tetroxide. It is the dimer of nitrogen dioxide.

Therefore, the molecular formula of the compound is

[tex]N _{2}O _{4}.[/tex]
