Answer :
Answer:
0.089
Explanation:
2.5/ 14= .178 then 0.178/ 2 again and you get 0.089
The moles of nitrogen in 2.5 grams of the compound is 0.089 moles. Thus option A is correct.
Moles can be calculated as the ratio of mass to molecular mass.
Moles = [tex]\rm \dfrac{weight}{molecular\;weight}[/tex]
The mass of Nitrogen = 14 g/mol
The mass of diatomic nitrogen = 2 [tex]\times[/tex] mass of nitrogen
The mass of diatomic nitrogen = 2 [tex]\times[/tex] 14 g/mol
The mass of diatomic nitogen = 28 g/mol
The molecular weight of Nitrogen = 28g/mol
Given, the mass of Nitrogen = 2.5 g
Moles of nitrogen = [tex]\rm \dfrac{2.5}{28}[/tex]
Moles of Nitrogen = 0.089 moles.
The moles of nitrogen in 2.5 grams of the compound is 0.089 moles. Thus option A is correct.
