  • Molecular Formula Calculation: Determining N2H4 from Empirical Formula and Molar Mass
    Here's how to determine the molecular formula:

    1. Find the empirical formula mass:

    * N (nitrogen) has a molar mass of 14 g/mol

    * H (hydrogen) has a molar mass of 1 g/mol

    * The empirical formula NH2 has a mass of 14 + (2 * 1) = 16 g/mol

    2. Calculate the ratio of molar mass to empirical formula mass:

    * 32 g/mol (molar mass) / 16 g/mol (empirical formula mass) = 2

    3. Multiply the empirical formula subscripts by the ratio:

    * NH2 * 2 = N2H4

    Therefore, the molecular formula of the molecule is N2H4 (hydrazine).
