Answer:
The correct answer is: X is nitrogen dioxide, and Y is a metal oxide
Explanation:
Combustion of compound of containing nitrogen and metal will give nitrogen dioxide and metal oxide as product. During combustion reaction a compound reacts with oxygen in order to yield oxides of elements present in the compound.
The general equation is given as:
Hence, the correct answer is :X is nitrogen dioxide, and Y is a metal oxide.
The empirical formula for this vitamin : C₃H₄O₃
<h3>Further explanation </h3>The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound =mole ratio of the components
The principle of determining empirical formula
- Determine the mass ratio of the constituent elements of the compound.
- Determine the mole ratio by dividing the percentage by the atomic mass
Mass of C in CO₂ :(MW C = 12 g/mol, CO₂=44 g/mol)
Mass of H in H₂O :(MW H = 1 g/mol, H₂O = 18 g/mol)
Mass O = Mass sample - (mass C + mass H) :
mol ratio C : H : O =
