Hello!

First, let's see what a molar mass is. A molar mass is how much a mole weighs, or how much 6.02214076×10²³ of an element weighs.

Now, let's find the molar mass of each of these three elements.

Carbon: 12.0107 g/mol

Hydrogen: 1.00784 g/mol

Nitrogen: 14.0067 g/mol

Now, see how much of the molar mass of compound x each of these contributes.

Carbon: 44.44% * 135.13 = 60.051772 g/mol

Hydrogen: 3.73% * 135.13 = 5.040349 g/mol

Nitrogen: 51.83% * 135.13 = 70.037879 g/mol

Finally, calculate how many atoms there are in the molecule. Do this my dividing the "how much they contribute to the molar mass" by the molar mass.

Carbon: 60.051772 / 12.0107 = 5

Hydrogen: 5.040349 / 1.00784 = 5

Nitrogen: 70.037879 / 14.0067 = 5

Therefore, we know that there are 5 Carbons, 5 hydrogens, and 5 nitrogens.

Put this all together to get the molecular formula: C5H5N5 (note that the numbers should be written as subscript)

Hope this helps!

C3H8 and CH4 are 2 compounds made from the same elements. This is an example of which law? A) Law of Conservation of Mass b) Law
Sphinxa [80]

C3H8 and CH4 are two compounds made from the same two elements, C and H. The ratios of C and H for both are round numbers.

Law of multiple proportions states that when two elements combine with each other to form more than one compound, the weights of one element that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.

So the ans is C) Law of Multiple Proportions
