Number of valence electrons
The initial balanced equation of decomposition is:
2NaN3 —> 2Na + 3N2
Since 1 mole of a gas occupies 24dm^3 at room temperature and pressure:
72dm^3 / 24dm^3 = 3 moles of Nitrogen which required 2 moles of Sodium Azide.
Since moles = mass/Relative molecular mass or molar mass
2 moles x 65~ g/mol = 130g
For the empirical formula:
Element H N
% Mass 2.33% 97.7%
Mass/Mr 2.33 6.97
2.33 7~
Divide by lowest number
1 3
Therefore empirical formula is
H1N3
Answer:
im pretty sure the answer to your question is false sorry if its wrong.
Explanation:
High potential for harm and abuse
<span>Compounds are composed of different elements in a fixed proportions. For example, 1 atom of oxygen (O) combines with 2 atoms of hydrogen (H) to form one molecule of water (H2O) compound. Similarly other numbers of atoms would produce other chemical compounds. Even adding 1 more atom of oxygen would convert the water (H2O) into hydrogen peroxide(H2O2). Even if we were only to list the ones we know there are over 20 million known compounds.
In order to list all possible compounds such a table would rapidly become combinatoric nightmare of such size that it would not be practical to use even with a computer database and it would consist of over 100 billion possible compounds containing only H, C, O and N.
Creating a table to handle all possible elements would mean a table of many trillions of compounds.</span>
