The first step in the scientific methods is ask a question
CH3 is the empirical formula for the compound.
A sample of a compound is determined to have 1.17g of Carbon and 0.287 g of hydrogen.
The number of atom or moles in the compound is
1.17 g C X 1 mol of C / 12.011 g C = 0.097411 mol of C.
0.287 g H x 1 mol of H / 1 g H = 0.28474 mol H.
This compound contains 0.097411 mol of carbon and 0.28474 mol of Hydrogen.
So we can represent the compound with the formula C0.974H0.284.
Subscripts in formulas can be made into whole numbers by multiplying the smaller subscript by the larger subscript.
we can divide 0.284 by 0.0974.
0.284 / 0.0974 = 3.
So here, Carbon is one and hydrogen is 3.
We can write the above formula as a CH3.
Hence the empirical formula for the sample compound is CH3.

Explanation:
The activation energy of a chemical reaction is the amount of energy that must be added to go from the energy level of the reactants to the energy level of transition state.
140 g of nitrogen (N₂)
Explanation:
We have the following chemical equation:
N₂ + 3 H₂ -- > 2 NH₃
Now, to find the number of moles of ammonia we use the Avogadro's number:
if 1 mole of ammonia contains 6.022 × 10²³ molecules
then X moles of ammonia contains 6.022 × 10²⁴ molecules
X = (1 × 6.022 × 10²⁴) / 6.022 × 10²³
X = 10 moles of ammonia
Taking in account the chemical reaction we devise the following reasoning:
If 1 mole of nitrogen produces 2 moles of ammonia
then Y moles of nitrogen produces 10 moles of ammonia
Y = (1 × 10) / 2
Y = 5 moles of nitrogen
number of moles = mass / molecular weight
mass = number of moles × molecular weight
mass of nitrogen (N₂) = 5 × 28 = 140 g
