The total mass of the empirical formula, NO2, is 46 grams per mole. To determine the molecular formula, divide the molar mass of the substance by 46 grams per mole. This is shown below,
(138.02 / 46) = 3
Multiply the subscripts of the empirical formula by the calculated quotient. Thus, the empirical formula is N3O6.
(138.02 / 46) = 3
Multiply the subscripts of the empirical formula by the calculated quotient. Thus, the empirical formula is N3O6.
Molar mass of N = 14 g/mol
Molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol
Adding both masses = 46 g/mol
Actual molar mass/ Empirical molar mass = 138.02 / 46 = 3
Now multiplying this co effecient with empirical fomula NO2 = 3(NO2)
= N3O6
So according to above explanation,
D) N3O6, is the correct answer.
