Question

A compound contains 28% Nitrogen and 72% Metal by mass. 3 atoms of metal combine with 2 atoms of nitrogen. If the atomic mass of metal is $x$, find $x/4$.

Answer: 6

💡 Solution & Explanation

Ratio of moles $M:N = 3:2$. <br>$\frac{72/M}{28/14} = \frac{3}{2} \Rightarrow \frac{72/M}{2} = 1.5$. <br>$72/M = 3 \Rightarrow M = 24$. <br>$x/4 = 24/4 = 6$. [3, 4]
