Answer:

C₃H₉N

Explanation:

The empirical formula of a compound is the fundamental and basic possible formula that shows the mole ratio of the atoms of each element in a molecule of the compound.

mole ratio of carbon = 60.94/12 = 5.078

mole ratio of hydrogen = 15.36/1  = 15.36

mole ratio of nitrogen = 23.70/14 = 1.693

Now; we will divide by the smallest value

So; carbon = 5.078/1.693 = 2.99 ≅ 3.0

hydrogen = 15.36/1.693 = 9.07 ≅ 9.0

nitrogen = 1.693/1.693 = 1 ≅ 1

Thus,  the empirical formula is = C₃H₉N

Is this an example of decomposition<br> 2CH4 + 402 → 2C02 + 4H2O
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Identify each equation as a composition reaction, a decomposition reaction, or neither.

Fe2O3 + 3 SO3 → Fe2(SO4)3

NaCl + AgNO3 → AgCl + NaNO3

(NH4)2Cr2O7 → Cr2O3 + 4 H2O + N2

Solution

In this equation, two substances combine to make a single substance. This is a composition reaction.

Two different substances react to make two new substances. This does not fit the definition of either a composition reaction or a decomposition reaction, so it is neither. In fact, you may recognize this as a double-replacement reaction.

A single substance reacts to make multiple substances. This is a decomposition reaction.

Test Yourself

Identify the equation as a composition reaction, a decomposition reaction, or neither.

C3H8 → C3H4 + 2 H2

Answer:

When meteoroids enter Earth's atmosphere (or that of another planet, like Mars) at high speed and burn up, the fireballs or “shooting stars” are called meteors. When a meteoroid survives a trip through the atmosphere and hits the ground, it's called a meteorite.
