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!

Answer:

The number, such as 98.7 FM, of a radio station represents:

  • <u>the frequency in which is transmitted the radio signal</u>.

Explanation:

<em>The radio FM is the modulated frequency, which means that all the information is sent by just a signal, with different frequencies which difference them</em>, <u>the radio FM use the frequencies from 88 MHz until 108 Mhz (MHz is a measuring unit for the frequency), with a minimal space among them of 0.2 MHz</u>, this last means that you could find a signal in 88.0 MHz, and the next should be 88.2 MHz, next 88.4 MHz and so (at least, regularly the space between two frequencies is more than 0.2 MHz).
