- Arrange the following substances in order of increasing mass percent of nitrogen. a. NO b. N2O c. NH3 d. SNHarrow_forwardThere are five hydrocarbon compounds (compounds of C and II) that have the formula C6H14. (These are isomers; they differ in the way that C and H atoms are attached. Chapter 23) All are liquids at room temperature but have slightly different densities. (a) You have a pure sample of one of these hydrocarbons, and to identify it you decide to measure its density. You determine that a 5.0-mL sample (measured in a graduated cylinder) has a mass of 3.2745 g (measured on an analytical balance). Assume that the accuracy of the values for mass and volume is plus or minus one ( 1) in the last significant figure. What is the density of the liquid? (b) Can you identify the unknown hydrocarbon based on your experiment? (c) Can you eliminate any of the five possibilities based on the data? If so, which one(s)?
