A compound contains only nitrogen and oxygen and is 30.5% nitrogen by mass. A gaseous sample of the compound has a density of 3.61 g/L at 924 torr and 105°C. What is the molecular formula of the compound?

Answer : The molecular formula of the compound will be,

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the mass of nitrogen and oxygen.

As we are given that 30.5 % nitrogen by mass that means 30.5 g of nitrogen present in 100 g of solution.

Mass of nitrogen = 30.5 g

Mass of oxygen = Mass of solution - Mass of nitrogen

Mass of oxygen = 100 g - 30.5 g

Mass of oxygen = 69.5 g

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

Step 1: Converting the given masses into moles.

Moles of N =

Moles of O =

Step 2: Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 1.09 moles.

For N =

For O =

Step 3: Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of N : O = 1 : 4

Hence, the empirical formula for the given compound is

The empirical mass of given compound is  = 1(28) + 4(16) = 92 g/eq

To calculate the molecular mass of compound we are using ideal gas equation:

where,

P = pressure of gas = 924 torr = 1.216 atm

Conversion used : (1 atm = 760 torr)

T = temperature of gas =

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mole.K

= density of gas = 3.61 g/L

M = molar mass of gas = ?

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get:

Now we have to calculate the molecular formula of the compound.

The equation used to calculate the valency is :

Molecular formula =

Thus, the molecular formula of the compound will be,

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.

sup bro, im dumb, but this is what i found xd

"the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface"
