Answer:
The answer to your question is:
Explanation:
Data
carbon 7.3% = 7.3g
hydrogen 4.5% = 4.5g
oxygen 36.4% = 36.4 g
nitrogen 31.8% = 31.8 g
Now
For carbon
12 g --------------------1 mol
7.3 g ------------- x
x = 7.3/12 = 0.608 mol
For hydrogen
1 g -------------------- 1 mol
4.5 g ------------------ x
x = 4.5 mol
For oxygen
16 g ------------------- 1 mol
36.4 g ---------------- x
x = 2.28 mol
For nitrogen
14 g ---------------- 1 mol
31.8 g --------------- x
x = 2.27 mol
Now divide by the lowest result, the is 0.608 from carbon
carbon 0.608/0.608 = 1
hydrogen 4.5/ 0.608 = 7.4
oxygen 2.28/0.608 = 3.75
nitrogen 2.27/0.608 = 3.73
Empirical formula = CH₇O₄N₄
It should remain constant because of the law of conservation of mass and because the flask is sealed no mass will escape
