Acolorless liquid has a molar mass of 60.01 g/mol. when the liquid was analyzed, it was 46.7% nitrogen and 53.3% oxygen. what is the molecular formula?

first we have to find the empirical formula of the compound

empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components making up a compound

for 100 g of the compound

N O

mass 46.7 g 53.3 g

number of 46.7 g/ 14 g/mol 53.3 g/ 16 g/mol

moles = 3.34 mol = 3.33 mol

divide by the least number of moles

3.34/3.33 = 1.00 3.33/ 3,33 = 1.00

therefore number of atoms are

N - 1

O - 1

empirical formula is - NO

mass of empirical unit - 14 g/mol + 16 g/mol = 30 g

molecular formula is actual composition of elements in the compound

molecular mass - 60.01 g/mol

number of empirical units = molecular mass / empirical unit mass

= 60.01 g/mol / 30 g = 2

there are 2 empirical units

2(NO)

molecular formula = N₂O₂

answer

fusion: the energy source of stars. the energy released from the collapse of the gas into a protostar causes the center of the protostar to become extremely hot. when the core is hot enough, nuclear fusion commences. fusion is the process where two hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium atom, releasing energy.

hope it

thats how its supposed to be
