Question 3.a of 5[Tutorial: Empirical formula]This question will walk you through the process of calculating theempirical formula of a 100.0 g sample of an unknown compound fromits elemental percent compositions. This problem will be solved via thefollowing sequence of conversions: mass % → mass → moles –→mole ratio → empirical formula.Step 1a: When percentages are given, assume that the total mass is100 grams to determine the mass of each element in grams. (mass %= mass). Then, using the molar masses of each element, convertgrams to moles (mass → moles). The unknown compound is 66.6% Nby mass.
