Answer:

NO_{1.499}

Explanation:

Let assume that 100 kg of the compound is tested. The quantity of kilomoles for each element are, respectively:

n_{N} = \frac{36.86\,kg}{14.006\,\frac{kg}{kmol} }

n_{N} = 2.632\,kmol

n_{O} = \frac{63.14\,kg}{15.999\,\frac{kg}{kmol} }

n_{O} = 3.946\,kmol

Ratio of kilomoles oxygen to kilomole nitrogen is:

n^{*} = \frac{3.946\,kmol}{2.632\,kmol}

n^{*}= 1.499

It means that exists 1.499 kilomole oxygen for each kilomole nitrogen.

The empirical formula for the compound is:

NO_{1.499}

Answer:

N₂O₃

Explanation:

Empirical Formula: The Empirical formula of a compound is the smallest formula of that compound that tells us the component element in the molecule of that compound and the ratio in which these elements are combined together.

From the question,

Given: N = 36.86 %, 0 = 63.14 %

Step 1: divide by their relative atomic mass.

N                 :              O

36.86/14                   63.14/16

2.633           :              3.946

Step 2: Divide by the smallest

N                       :          O

2.633/2.633                3.946/2.633

1                       :            1.5

1                       :           3/2

2                       :            3

Hence the empirical formula = N₂O₃

Answer:

68.8 Hz

137.6 Hz, 206.4 Hz

Explanation:

L = Length of tube = 2.5 m

v = Velocity of sound in air = 344 m/s

Distance between nodes is given by

L=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}+m\dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{\lambda(n+1)}{2}=L\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{2L}{n+1}

Where n = 0, 1, 2, 3, ...

Making n+1 = n

\lambda=\dfrac{2L}{n}

where n = 1, 2, 3 .....

For fundamental frequency n = 1

\lambda=\dfrac{2\times 2.5}{1}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=5\ m

Frequency is given by

f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow f=\dfrac{344}{5}\\\Rightarrow f=68.8\ Hz

The fundamental frequency is 68.8 Hz

First overtone

2f=2\times 68.8=137.6\ Hz

Second overtone

3f=3\times 68.8=206.4\ Hz

The overtones are 137.6 Hz, 206.4 Hz
