<span>Mass of nitrogen = 14.0067
</span>
Mass of oxygen = 15.9994
In this compound nitrogen = 36.86 /
14.0067 = 2.63
<span>And oxygen = 63.14 / 15.9994 = 3.95 <span>
now we have: N----- 2.63 and O----3.95
by dividing both with the smallest number we get
</span></span>
<span>N-------2.63/2.63 = 1<span>
<span>O-------3.95/2.63 = 1.5
To get whole numbers we multiply both by 2
</span></span></span>
N= 1 x 2 = 2
And O = 1.5 x 2= 3
<span>So, the empirical formula is N</span>₂O₃.
Using the combined gas law, where PV/T = constant, we first solve for PV/T for the initial conditions: (4.50 atm)(36.0 mL)/(10.0 + 273.15 K) = 0.57213.
Remember to use absolute temperature.
For the final conditions: (3.50 atm)(85.0 mL)/T = 297.5/T
Since these must equal, 0.57213 = 297.5/T
T = 519.98 K
Subtracting 273.15 gives 246.83 degC.
The most important hydrogen bonding is the DNA.
