A 1.525g sample of a compound between nitrogen and hydrogen contains 1.333 g of nitrogen. Calculate its empirical formula. The empirical formula is?

Respuesta :

Answer:

NH2.

Explanation:

The mass of hydrogen in the sample = 1.525 - 1.333 = 0.192g.

Dividing the 2 masses by the  relative atomic mass of hydrogen and nitrogen:

H: 0.192 / 1.008 = 0.1905

N: 1.333 / 14.007 = 0.09517

The ratio of N to H =  0.09517 : 0.1905

=  1 : 2.

So the empirical formula is  NH2.
