Answer:
NaNH₂₀
Explanation:
0.5 mol Na, 0.5 mol N, and 10 mol H
To obtain the empirical formulae, we find the mole ratio between the elements and this is done by dividing all through by the smallest mol (0.5)
Na = 0.5 / 0.5 = 1
N = 0.5 / 0.5 = 1
H = 10 / 0.5 = 20
The mole ratio is used to write the empirical formulae. It is given as;
NaNH₂₀
