For each carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen. You have to divide each percentage by its atomic mass.
C = 53.5/12.0107 = 4.45436
H = 15.5/1.00794 = 15.377899
N= 31.1/14.0067 = 2.220365

Round the number to significant figures
C = 4.45
H =15.4
N =2.22

Divide Each Number by the smallest number out of the three
so N = 2.22/2.22 =1
H = 15.4/2.22= 6.9 =7
C = 4.45/2.22= 2
So the Formula Should Be <span>C2H7N</span>

Write a balanced chemical equation describing the reaction of zinc and hydrochloric acid.
erastova [34]
The chemical formula for zinc is Zn, and HCl for hydrogen chloride. The complete balanced equation for these reactants would be:

Zn + 2 HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂

The stoichiometric coefficient 2 for HCl is essential to obey the Law of Conservation of Mass. The elements before and after the reaction must be equal in amounts.
