given \(\%\) of \(H\) \(= 12.5\%\)
\(\therefore \) \(\%\) of \(N\) \(= 100-12.5 = 87.5\%\)
Element | Percentage | Atomic ratio | Simple ratio |
\(H\) | \(12.5\%\) | \(\frac{12.5}{1}=12.5\) | \(\frac{12.5}{6.25}=2\) |
\(N\) | \(87.5\%\) | \(\frac{87.5}{14}=6.25\) | \(\frac{6.25}{6.25}=1\) |
\(2 \times\) vapour density \(=\) Mol. wt \(= 16 \times 2 = 32.\)
Molecular formula \(= n \times\) empirical formula mass
\(n = \frac{{32}}{{16}} = 2\)
\(\therefore \) Molecular formula of the compound will be \(= (NH_2)_2\)
\(= N_2H_4\)
