Nitroglycerin contains 60% as many carbon atoms as hydrogen atoms, three times as many oxygen atoms as nitrogen atoms, and the same number of carbon and nitrogen atoms. The number of moles in 1.00g of nitroglycerin is 0.00441. What is the molecular formula?

C₃H₅N₃O₉

Explanation:

Molar mass of nitroglycerin (Ratio of mass and moles of the compound) is:

1.00g / 0.0041mol = 226.8g/mol

We can write the equations:

0.6H = C (1)

-60% as many carbon atoms as hydrogen atoms-

3N = O (2)

C = N

Using as basis the atoms of Carbon:

Carbon = 1

Nitrogen = 1

Oxygen = 3

Hydrogen = 1/0.6 = 1.67

A molecular formula has just whole numbers. This ratio of atoms times 3:

Carbon = 3

Nitrogen = 3

Oxygen = 9

Hydrogen = 5

C₃H₅N₃O₉. Molar mass of this formula is:

C = 12.01g/mol*3 = 36.03g/mol

H = 1.01g/mol*5 = 5.05g/mol

N = 14g/mol*3 = 42g/mol

O = 16g/mol*9 = 144g/mol

Molar mass:

36.03g/mol + 5.05g/mol + 42g/mol + 144g/mol = 227g/mol ≈ 226.8g/mol

That means molecular formula of nitroglycerin is:

when atmosphere interacts with biosphere they focuses on on the sources and sinks of green house gases (ghgs) air pollutants, particular matters, water and energy between the earth's surface and the atmosphere. the biosphere affects the climate. the atmosphere and biosphere are in constant interaction with each other, and all living things rely on gases in the atmosphere for life. organisms such as animals take in oxygen gas form the atmosphere to use in every cell of their body for smooth functioning of daily routine exercises.

the answer is b & c i believe : )
