Assuming we have 100 g of sample

30.45/MW of N 14g = 2.175

69.55/MW of O 16g = 4.34

4.34/2.185 = 2

for every 1 mole of N we have 2 moles of O

so the empirical formula would be NO2

without having the molecular weight of the entire molecule the molecular formula can not be determined with the information in your question

If 45.0 mL of a 0.0500 M HNO3, 10.0 mL of a 0.0500 M KSCN, and 30.0 mL of a 0.0500 M Fe(NO3)3 are combined, what is the initial
jeka94

Answer:

the  initial concentration of SCN- in the mixture is 0.00588 M

Explanation:

The computation of the initial concentration of the SCN^- in the mixture is as follows:

As we know that

KSCN \rightarrow K^ + SCN^-

As it is mentioned in the question that KSCN is present 10 mL of 0.05 M

So, the total milimoles of SCN^- is

= 10 × 0.05

= 0.5  m moles

The total volume in mixture is

= 45 + 10 + 30

= 85 mL

Now the initial concentration of the SCN^- is

= 0.5 ÷ 85

= 0.00588 M

hence, the  initial concentration of SCN- in the mixture is 0.00588 M
