Assuming we have 100 g of sample
30.45/MW of N 14g = 2.175
69.55/MW of O 16g = 4.34
4.34/2.185 = 2
for every 1 mole of N we have 2 moles of O
so the empirical formula would be NO2
without having the molecular weight of the entire molecule the molecular formula can not be determined with the information in your question
Answer:
Half life is 6 years.
Explanation:
T½ = In2 / λ
Where λ = decay constant.
But N = No * e^-λt
Where N = final mass after a certain period of time
No = initial mass
T = time
N = 0.625g
No = 10g
t = 24 years
N = No* e^-λt
N / No = e^-λt
λ = -( 1 / t) In N / No (inverse of e is In. Check logarithmic rules)
λ = -(1 / 24) * In (0.625/10)
λ = -0.04167 * In(0.0625)
λ = -0.04167 * (-2.77)
λ = 0.1154
T½ = In2 / λ
T½ = 0.693 / 0.1154
T½ = 6.00 years.
