### Determining the Empirical Formula#### Problem Statement:*Example 3.10*: Similar to Example 3.17 & 18, find the empirical formula of a compound containing 36.86% nitrogen and 63.14% oxygen by mass.#### Options:- \( \text{N}_2\text{O} \)- \( \text{N}_2\text{O}_3 \)- \( \text{NO}_2 \)- \( \text{N}_3\text{O}_4 \)#### Explanation for Calculation:To find the empirical formula, follow these steps:1. **Convert Percentages to Grams**: Assume you have 100 grams of the compound, which means you have 36.86 grams of nitrogen (N) and 63.14 grams of oxygen (O). 2. **Convert Grams to Moles**: - Moles of \( \text{N} \) = \( \frac{36.86 \text{ g}}{14.01 \text{ g/mol}} \) - Moles of \( \text{O} \) = \( \frac{63.14 \text{ g}}{16.00 \text{ g/mol}} \)3. **Calculate the Mole Ratio**: - Determine the ratio by dividing each mole value by the smallest number of moles calculated. 4. **Derive the Empirical Formula**: - Use the mole ratio to write the empirical formula of the compound. Consult the examples mentioned (Example 3.17 and 18) for step-by-step procedures of similar problems to aid in your understanding.
