Answer:

C2H5NO

Explanation:

constituent elements                    N              O               C                H

Mass composition                     0.420        0.480         0.540         0.135

mole ratio                                   0.42/14       0.48/16      0.54/12         0.135/1

                                              = 0.03                0.03             0.045         0.135

dividing by the smallest           0.03/0.03     0.03/0.03    0.045/0.03 0.135/0.03

ratio                                      =        1                      1                1.5                 4.5

                                             =        1                      1                  2                   5

EMPERICAL FORMULA = C2H5NO

The amount of gas that occupies 36.52 L at 68.0°C and 672 mm Hg is __________ mol.
ASHA 777 [7]
We assume that this gas is an ideal gas. We use the ideal gas equation to calculate the amount of the gas in moles. It is expressed as:

PV = nRT
(672) (1/760) (36.52) = n (0.08206) ( 68 +273.15)
n = 1.15 mol of gas

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
