The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
An unknown compound has the following chemical formula:
N2Ox
where x stands for a whole number.
Measurements also show that a certain sample of the unknown compound contains 3.7 mol of oxygen and 2.45 mol of nitrogen.
Write the complete chemical formula for the unknown compound.
Answer:
The complete formula of the compound is N2O3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Number of moles of N = 2.45 moles
Number of moles of O = 3.7 moles
Chemical formula of unknown compound = N2Ox
From the ratio of the number of moles of N to O;
2/x = 2.45/3.7
2 * 3.7 = x * 2.45
x = 2 * 3.7/ 2.45
x =3
Hence the complete formula of the compound is N2O3.
