Question
A gaseous binary compound has a vapor density that is 2.53 times that of nitrogen at 100°C and atmospheric pressure. When 8.21 g of the gas reacts with AlCl3 at 100°C, 1.62 g gaseous nitrogen is produced, removing all of the nitrogen originally present.
(a) Estimate the molecular mass of the gaseous compound.
(b) How many nitrogen atoms are there in a molecule of
the compound?
(c) What is the maximum possible value of the
mass
(d) Are other values possible for the atomic mass of the
second element? Use a table of atomic masses to identify the element that best fits the data.
(e) What is the molecular formula of the compound?
