Question

Compound X contains 40% carbon, 13.3% hydrogen and 46.7% nitrogen. What is its empirical formula?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

if compound x contains   40%of carbon

                                             13.3%of hydrogen

                                               46.7%of nitrogen

then  carbon=40/12=3.3=3

         hydrogen=13.3/1=13.3=13

          nitrogen=46.7/14=3.3=3

       

       approximately values should be taken
