Answer:

Empirical formula = NO₂

Molecular formula = N₂O₄

Explanation:

Percentage mass of Nitrogen = 30.4 %

Percentage mass of Oxygen = 60.9 %

Mole ratio of the elements:

Nitrogen = 30.4/14 = 2.17

Oxygen = 69.9/16 = 4.37

Dividing by the smallest ratio to obtain a simple ratio

Nitrogen: 2.17/2.17 = 1

Oxygen; 4.37/2.17 = 2

Therefore, the simplest mole ratio is 1:2

Empirical formula = NO₂

Molecular formula = n(empirical formula), therefore, molecular mass = n *(empirical mass)

92.010 = n(14 + 32)

92.010 = 46n

n = 92.010/46

n = 2

Therefore, molecular formula = 2(NO₂)

Molecular formula = N₂O₄

How many molecules are in 3 moles of NaCl?
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Given : No. Of moles = 1.5

To calculate : no. Of molecules =N

We know that moles = N / 6.022 x 10²³

Therefore, 1.5 x 6.022 x 10²³ = N

Hence N = 9.0330x 10²³ molecules

How can I differentiate between Ionic compounds, molecular compounds, and acids given only the formula? I need to be able to fin
VikaD [51]
You can differentiate between ionic, covalent and molecular compounds by the fact that ionic compounds contain elements that include both a metal and a nonmetal. Molecular compounds contain both non metals covalently bonded to each other. While acids most often on their chemical formula start with the element of Hydrogen - H.

For Eg - sulphuric acid
H2SO4
hydrochloric acid - HCl.

How many moles of KBr will be produced from 10.51 moles of BaBr2?
gregori [183]

Answer:

21.02moles of KBr

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Number of moles BaBr₂ = 10.51moles

Complete reaction equation:

           BaBr₂ + K₂SO₄ → KBr + BaSO₄

Upon inspecting the given equation, we find out that the atoms are not balanced on both sides of the equation:

        The balanced equation is:

           BaBr₂ + K₂SO₄ → 2KBr + BaSO₄

From the equation:

     1 mole of BaBr₂ produces 2 moles of KBr

∴   10.51 moles of BaBr₂ will yield (2 x 10.51) moles = 21.02moles of KBr
