Weight percentage of nitrogen can be calculated using the following rule:
weight percentage of nitrogen = (weight of nitrogen / weight of urea) x 100

From the periodic table:
molecular mass of carbon = 12 grams
molecular mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
molecular mass of hydrogen = 1 grams
molecular mass of oxygen = 16 grams

therefore:
mass of nitrogen in urea = 2(14) = 28 grams
mass of urea = 12 + 2(14) + 4(1) + 16 = 60 grams

Substitute with the masses in the equation to get the percentage:
weight percentage of nitrogen = (28/60) x 100 = 46.667%

The combustion of 3.795 mg of liquid B, which contains only C, H, and O, with excess oxygen gave 9.708 mg of CO2 and 3.969 mg of
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Explanation:

9.708 mg of CO₂ will contain 12 x 9.708 / 44 = 2.64 g of C .

3.969 mg of H₂O will contain 2 x 3.969 / 18 = .441 g of H .

mg of O in given liquid B = 3.795 - ( 2.64 + .441 ) = .714 mg

ratio of mg of C , H , O in the compound = 2.64 : .441 : .714

ratio of no of atoms  of C , H , O in the compound

= 2.64 / 12 : .441 /1 : .714 / 16

= .22 : .44 : .0446

= .22 / .22 : .44 / .22 : .044 / .22

= 1 : 2 : .2

1 x 5 : 2 x 5 : .2 x 5

= 5 : 10 : 1

empirical formula of the compound = C₅H₁₀O

Volume of 89.8 mL at 1 .00 atm at 200⁰C

volume of gas at 1 atm and 0⁰C = 89.8 x 273 / 473 mL

= 51.83 mL

51.83 mL weighs .205 g

22400 mL will weigh .205 x 22400 / 51.83 g

= 88.6 g

So molecular weight = 88.6

Let molecular formula be (C₅H₁₀O)ₙ

molecular weight = n ( 5 x 12 + 10 + 16 )

= 86 n

86 n = 88.6

n = 1 approx

So molecular formula is same as empirical formula

C₅H₁₀O is molecular formula .
