Answer:
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, since the mass percentages in a compound which is wanted to know the molecular formula, can be assumed to be the masses, we first need to compute the moles they have in the formula unit:
Next, we divide each moles by the fewest ones (3.73 mol) in order to find the subscript in the empirical formula first:
Then, the empirical formula is BH2N whose molar mass is 26.83 g/mol, so the ratio of molecular to empirical is 80.50/26.83=3; therefore, the molecular formula is three times the empirical one:
Best regards!
