Concept Introduction: The molecular mass of compound is the sum of
Whereas empirical formula can be defined as the simplest positive integer ratio of all bonded atoms in the compound.
Answer to Problem 63A
Element A with molar mass 14.0 g/mol is Nitrogen.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A = 63.7%
O = 36.3 %
Calculate moles of O:
According to A2O formula:
1 mole of O = 2 moles of A
Thus moles of A =
Calculate molar mass of A:
Element A with molar mass 14.0 g/mol is Nitrogen.
Element A with molar mass 14.0 g/mol is Nitrogen.
