MgThe  empirical  formula   is  calculated as follows
fin the  moles of each  element
moles =  %  composition/ molar mass

magnesium(Mg) =  72.2/24 = 3moles
Nitrogen(N) = 27.8/14  = 1.986 moles

find the  moles  ration by  dividing each mole  by the smallest mole ( 1.986 moles)

that is 

magnesium)Mg)  = 3/1.986 =  1.5
Nitrogen (N)=  1.986/1.986 =1
multiply  both  the mole  ratio to remove the decimal

magnesium (Mg) = 1.5 x2 = 3
nitrogen (N)= 1 x2 =2

therefore  the empirical formula = Mg3N2

What are three units you can measure moler mass in
liraira [26]

By looking at a periodic table, we can conclude that the molar mass of lithium is 6.94g, the molar mass of zinc is 65.38g, and the molar mass of gold is 196.97g. Each of these quantities contains 6.02×1023 atoms of that particular element. The units for molar mass are grams per mole, or g/mol.

So The answers are Lithium, Gold, Zinc

Hope This Helps

How heart attacks and Strokes caused by cholesterol​
madam [21]

With high cholesterol, you can develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels. Eventually, these deposits grow, making it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries. Sometimes, those deposits can break suddenly and form a clot that causes a heart attack or stroke.
