Answer:

N3H12PO3

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Nitrogen (N) = 31.57%

Hydrogen (H) = 9.10%

Phosphorus (P) = 23.27%

Oxygen (O) = 36.06%

Step 2:

Divide by their molar masses.

This is illustrated below:

N = 31.57/14 = 2.255

H = 9.10/ 1 = 9.1

P = 23.27/31 = 0.751

O = 36.06/16 = 2.254

Step 3:

Divide by the smallest number. This is illustrated below:

N = 2.255/0.751 = 3

H = 9.1 /0.751 = 12

P = 0.751 /0.751 = 1

O = 2.254/0.751 = 3

The empirical formula is N3H12PO3

Answer:

The empirical formula is: <u>N3H12PO3</u>

Explanation:

To calculate the empirical formula, the values ​​of each element must first be taken in 100gr of the compound:

  • 31.57% Nitrogen = <u>31.57gr N </u>
  • 9.10% Hydrogen = <u>9.10 gr H </u>
  • 23.27% Phosphorus = <u>23.27gr P </u>
  • 36.06% Oxygen = <u>36.06gr O </u>

Then the grams of each element are divided by their atomic weight:

  • 31.57grN / 14U =<u> 2,255 N </u>
  • 9.10grH / 1.001U = <u>9.091 H </u>
  • 23.27grP / 31U = <u>0.75 P </u>
  • 36.06grO / 16U = <u>2.253 O </u>

Then each data is divided by the smallest number that is that of Phosphorus:

  • 2,255 N / 0.75 = <u>3N </u>
  • 9,091 H / 0.75 = <u>12H </u>
  • 0.75 P / 0.75 = <u>1 P </u>
  • 2,253 O / 0.75 = <u>3 O </u>

And the data we use is put into a formula of the compound:

  • NHPO

And its values ​​are assigned:

  • <u>N3H12PO3</u>

How does a scientist form a hypothesis?
MrMuchimi

Explanation: <em>The hypothesis is a prediction, but it involves more than a guess. Most of the time, the hypothesis begins with a question which is then explored through background research. It is only at this point that researchers begin to develop a testable hypothesis.</em>

(Unless you are creating an exploratory study, your hypothesis should always explain what you expect to happen)
