Answer:
The compound is N2O4
Explanation:
We have certain important pieces of information about the compound;
1) it is an oxide (a binary compound of nitrogen and oxygen)
2) there are no N-N bonds present
3) there are no O-O bonds present
Since it contains only nitrogen and oxygen then nitrogen accounts for 25.9% of the molecule by mass then oxygen should account for (100-25.9) = 74.1% oxygen
Relative atomic mass of oxygen = 16
Relative atomic mass of nitrogen = 14
We now deduce the empirical formula
Nitrogen. Oxygen
25.9/14. 74.1/16
1.85/1.85. 4.6/1.85 (divide through by the lowest ratio)
1 2
Empirical formula is NO2
To find the molecular formula
(NO2)n = 108
(14+2(16))n= 108
46n=108
n= 108/46
n= 2
Therefore molecular formula= N2O4
