Question

An oxide of nitrogen contains 30.45 mass % N.

Answer 1

An oxide of nitrogen contains 30.45 mass % N, if the molar mass is 90± 5 g/mol the molecular formula is N₂O₄.

What is molar mass?

The molar mass of a chemical compound is determined by dividing its mass by the quantity of that compound, expressed as the number of moles in the sample, measured in moles. A substance's molar mass is one of its properties. The compound's molar mass is an average over numerous samples, which frequently have different masses because of isotopes.

How to find the molecular formula?

The whole-number multiple is defined as follows.

Whole-number multiple = $\frac{molar mass (g/mol)}{empirical formula mass (g/mol)}$

The empirical formula mass is shown below.

Mw of empirical formula = Mw of N+ 2 x (Mw of O)

                                      = 14.01 g/mol + 2 x (16.00 g/mol)

                                      = 46.01 g/mol

With the given molar mass or the molecular formula mass, we can get the whole-number multiple for the compound.

Whole-number multiple = $\frac{90 g/mol }{46.01 g/mol}$ ≈ 2

Multiplying the subscripts of NO2 by 2, the molecular formula is N(1x2)O(2x2)= N2O4.
