A. I think sorry if it’s wrong
First, find the number of moles for each element. The molar
mass for nitrogen is 14 g/mol and that of hydrogen is 1 g/mol.
1.40 g N / 14 g/mol = 0.1 mol N
0.20 g H / 1 g/mol = 0.2 mol H
Find the mole ratio. Divide both numbers with the much lower
value. In this case, it is 0.1 mol N.
For N: 0.1 ÷ 0.1 = 1
For H: 0.2÷0.1 = 2
Thus, the empirical formula is 
.
I think is 5 because you use density is found by mass divide by volume.
Answer:
B There are two grams of hydrogen for each gram of carbon in this compound.
Explanation:
The second option is a wrong interpretation of this chemical representation of formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde is an organic compound with the formula CH₂O.
As this is the simplest formula of the compound, it is the empirical formula. Also, the formula is the actual one for the compound and it is the molecular formula.
Chemically, the formula shows 1 mole of carbon, 2 moles of H and 1 mole of oxygen in the compound.
- A mole of a substance is more a less a unit of measurement in chemistry and it is the amount of substance that contains the avogadro's number of particles.
This ratio is not the mass of chemical species in the compound. You cannot tell the mass of elements in a compound by merely looking at the formula.
