Find the molecular formula of ammonia, if its density at the pressure of 780 mmHg and the temperature of 20^@C is 0.736 kg//m3. |

Answer» `M = rho RT//p = 17` kg/kmole Noting that the atomic masses of the ELEMENTS which make up ammonia are `M_1 = 14` kg/kmole (nitrogen) and `M_2= 1` kg/kmole (HYDROGEN), we obtain the equation `M = x_1 M_1 + x_2M_2,` i.e. `17 = 14x_1 + x_2` Its solution in integral NUMBERS is: `x_1= 1 , x_2 = 3`.Hence the molecular formula of ammonia is `NH_3`. |
