An unknown compound has the following chemical formula: N2OX here stands for a whole number. Measurements also show that a certain sample of the unknown compound contains 4.00mol of oxygen and 2.67mol of nitrogen. Write the complete chemical formula for the unknown compound.

The complete chemical formula for the unknown compound : N₂O₃

Given

The chemical formula : N₂Oₓ

4.00 mol of oxygen and 2.67 mol of nitrogen

Required

The chemical formula

Solution

A molecular formula is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.

The molecular formula of a compound shows the mole ratio of each of its constituent components

The mol ratio for N : O =

2.67 : 4 : divide by 2.67

1 : 1.5 = 2 : 3

- aluminum and copper chloride.

- the chloride ion to separate the aluminum from the oxygen so that the aluminum can react with the copper ions (and the water molecules).
