Answer :
The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
A 31 g sample of a compound that contains only the elements C,H and N is completely burned in O2 to produce 44.0 g of CO2, 45.0 g of H2O, and 92.0 g of NO2. Determine the empirical formula of the compound.
Answer:
CH5N2
Explanation:.
Mass of C = 44.0g/44.0 g/mol = 1 mol * 1 = 1 mole of C
Mass of H = 45.0 g/18 g/mol = 2.5 moles * 2 = 5 moles of H
Mass of N = 92.0 g/46 g/mol = 2 moles * 1 = 2 moles of N
Dividing through by the lowest mole ratio;
1/1, 5/1, 2/1
1 : 5 : 2
Hence the empirical formula is;
CH5N2
