Question

A compound has an empirical formula SN. If there are n4 atmos of N in one molecule, what is the molecular formula? Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

The molecular formula shows the exact number of different types of atoms present in a molecule of a compound. The molecular formula can be obtained directly from an empirical formula which represents the simplest whole number ratio of various atoms present in a compound if the n factor is known.

i.e. molecular formula = n× Empirical formula

where n=  

Empirical mass

molar mass
