A Compound Containing beryllium has the following composition, Be = 6.1%, N = 37.8% Cl=48%, H = 8.1 %. One mole of the compound has mass of 148 g and average atomic mass of beryllium is 9. The molecular formula of the compound is:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Element % %/A Simplest ratio
Be 6.1 6.1/9 = 0.677 1
N 37.8 37.8/14 = 2.7 4
Cl 48 48/35.5 = 1.35 2
H 8.1 8.1/1 = 8.1 12
Empirical formula = BeN 4 Cl 2 H 1
= 9 + 56 + 71 +12
= 148 = n = 1
Molecular formula = BeN 4 Cl 2 H 12
