Formula of isocyanic acid is HNCO. It colourless, volatile compound. It is poisonous inorganic compound. Melamine is synthesized from urea. The reaction involves two steps. In first step, urea gets converted to isocyanic acid which is an intermediate. In the second step, isocyanic acid gives melamine (molecular formula C₃H₆N₆) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). The balanced chemical reaction involved in second step is given below:
6 HNCO → 1 C₃N₃(NH₂)₃ + 3CO₂
The co-efficient of the reaction are: 6, 1, 3
Answer:
44
Explanation:
protons and electrons have the same number:)
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up a compound.
The percentage composition of each element has been given
therefore the mass present of each element in 100 g of compound is
B N H
mass 40.28 g 52.20 g 7.53 g
number of moles
40.28 g / 11 g/mol 52.20 g / 14 g/mol 7.53 g / 1 g/mol
= 3.662 mol = 3.729 mol = 7.53 mol
divide the number of moles by the least number of moles, that is 3.662
3.662 / 3.662 3.729 / 3.662 7.53 / 3.662
= 1.000 = 1.018 = 2.056
the ratio of the elements after rounding off to the nearest whole number is
B : N : H = 1 : 1 : 2
therefore empirical formula for the compound is B₁N₁H₂
that can be written as BNH₂
2 NH3+ 2 O2 —> 2 NO+ 3 H2O
