Interpretation:
The empirical formula and the molecular formula of peroxyacylnitrate (PAN)are to be calculated with given percent by mass of element present and molar mass.
Concept introduction:
Empirical formula is the simplest formula of any compound when written in the least possible whole number without altering the relative number of atoms.
The molecular mass of any compound is the sum of the
The percent composition of an element by its mass in a compound can be calculated as
Here, n represents the number of atoms in the given molecule or compound.
The number of moles is defined as the ratio of mass to the molar mass:
Here,
The mass of compound can be calculated as
Here,
The molecular formula can be calculated as
