Find the empirical formula of a compound containing 17.64% hydrogen and 82.35% of nitrogen.

संख्यात्मक

उत्तर १

Given is the % of H n N

So atomic weight of H is 1

the atomic weight of N is 14

Divide % of H with its atomic weight. weight and similarly N % with its atomic weight I.e. 14

You will get the relative no of atoms.

to get the simplest ratio. Divide the smaller value of relative no of atoms with the two. you will get the simplest ratio

NH3

उत्तर २

Element Percentage Atomic Weight Ratio Simplest Ratio
Hydrogen 82.35% 14 `82.35/14` = 5.88 `5.88/5.88` = 1
Nitrogen 17.64% 1 `17.46/1` = 17.46 `17.46/5.88` = 3

∴ Empirical Formula= N1H= NH3
