Answer:

Na₂₆F₁₁

Explanation:

We find the moles of the substance assuming 100 g of the substance is present. Why do we take 100 g? Because then the percent of sodium/fluorine, would be the g of sodium/fluorine respectively:

74.186 g Sodium | 1 mol Sodium/23 g              =>       3.2255 mol Na    

25.814 g Fluorine | 1 mol Fluorine/19 g             =>       1.3586 mol F

Divide each by smallest number of moles:

3.2255/1.3586 = 2.37

1.3586/1.3586 = 1

Multiply by common number to get a smallest whole number:

2.37*11 = 26,

1*11 = 11

The empirical formula is Na₂₆F₁₁

Calculate the mass of 25,000 molecules of nitrogen gas. (1 mole = 6.02 x 1023 molecules)
Ainat [17]

Hey there!

Molar mass N2 = 28.01 g/mol

Therefore:

28.01 g N2 -------------- 6.02*10²² molecules N2

( mass N2 ?? ) ----------- 25,000 molecules N2

mass N2 =  ( 25,000 * 28.01 ) /  ( 6.02*10²³ )

mass N2 = 700250 / 6.02*10²³

mass N2 = 1.163*10⁻¹⁸ g


Hope that helps!
