<span>Mass of nitrogen = 14.0067
</span>
Mass of oxygen = 15.9994
In this compound nitrogen = 36.86 /
14.0067 = 2.63
<span>And oxygen = 63.14 / 15.9994 = 3.95 <span>
now we have: N----- 2.63 and O----3.95
by dividing both with the smallest number we get
</span></span>
<span>N-------2.63/2.63 = 1<span>
<span>O-------3.95/2.63 = 1.5
To get whole numbers we multiply both by 2
</span></span></span>
N= 1 x 2 = 2
And O = 1.5 x 2= 3
<span>So, the empirical formula is N</span>₂O₃.
NaCl and H2O.
The products are typically the elements/compounds on the right side of the equation or the right side of the arrow. The left side of the arrow would be the reactants of the equation.
Hope this helps!
The bad smelling element is Sulfur, which smells like rotting eggs.
