Knowing the ratio between atoms we can write an empirical formula:
<span>C4H6O </span>
<span>we compute the molar mass of this single formula: </span>
<span>4x12 + 6 x 1 + 16 x1 = 70 g / mol </span>
<span>Now, as we know the actual molar mas being 280 g/mol, we divide this number by 70 and we get the ratio between empirical formula and molecular actual formula: </span>
<span>280 / 70 = 4 </span>
<span>This means that actual molecular formula is: </span>
<span>(C4H6O)4 or </span>
<span>C16H24O4 </span>
The balanced chemical reaction is:
N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3
We are given the amount of ammonia formed
from the reaction. This is where we start our calculations.
0.575 g NH3 (1 mol NH3 / 17.03 g NH3) (3 mol
H2 / 2 mol NH3) ( 2.02 g H2 / 1 mol H2) = 0.10 g H2
