If the molecular formula is NH, then it means there are 1 molecule of nitrogen every 1 molecule of hydrogen. In this case, the hydrogen atomic mass is 1 and its weight is 0.0864 grams. The nitrogen weight 0.403 grams and we need to find the atomic mass. The calculation should be:
(1/ 0.0864 gram) * 0.403 = 4.66
I'm not sure that there is NH molecule. The molecular weight of nitrogen should be 14 so the question might be wrong. If the reaction is N2 + 3 H2 → 2 NH3
Then the answer is: (3/ 0.0864 gram) * 0.403 = 14
(1/ 0.0864 gram) * 0.403 = 4.66

Given,
Mass of nitrogen = 0.403 g
Mass of hydrogen = 0.0864 g
Atomic mass of H = 1 amu
Moles = mass / molar mass
Molar mass of H₂ = 1 x 2 = 2 g/mol
Moles of hydrogen = 0.0864 g / 2 g/mol = 0.0432 moles
Nitrogen combines with hydrogen hence the chemical equation is:
N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃
As per the balanced chemical reaction, 3 moles of H₂ combines with 1 mole of N₂
or, 1 mole of H₂ combines with 1/3rd mole of N₂
Therefore, 0.0432 moles of H₂ will combine with (1/3 x 0.0432 moles of N₂)
Moles of N₂ = 0.0144 mol
Molar mass = mass / moles
Molar mass of N₂ = (0.043 g N₂) / (0.0144 mol N₂) = 2.986 g/mol of N₂
Atomic mass of N = 2.986/2 = 1.493 amu
