Work out the number of moles in
100.00 grams of the oxide.
For nitrogen: The atomic mass of N is 14.0067, and we have 36.84 g N:
36.84 g N14.0067 g N/mol N=2.630 mol N
For oxygen: The atomic mass of O is
15.9994, and we have
100.00−36.84=63.16 g O:
63.16 g N 15.9994 g N/mol N=3.948 mol N
Now the ratio 3.958 2.630 is very close to
1.5=32
. So we conclude that the gas has three moles
O to two moles N making the empirical formula
N2O3.
