Answer:

Empirical formula is NH₃

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of hydrogen = 82%

Percentage of nitrogen = 18%

Empirical formula = ?

Solution:

Number of gram atoms of H = 18 / 1.01 = 17.8

Number of gram atoms of N = 82 / 14 = 5 .9

Atomic ratio:

H : N

17.8/5.9 : 5.9/5.9

3 : 1

H : N = 3:1

Empirical formula is NH₃
