An oxide of nitrogen is 25.9% N by mass, has a molar mass of 108 g/mol, and contains no nitrogen-nitrogen or oxygen- oxygen bonds. Draw its Lewis structure, and name it.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Its Lewis structure is,

The name of the compound is dinitrogen pentoxide.

Step by step solution

01

Mass of components. 

Consider that the total mass of the compoundis 100g.

Given that the mass of nitrogen is25.9g.

So, the mass of oxygen will be =100-25.4=74.1g.

Formula of compound

The ratio of nitrogen and oxygen is the empirical formula of the compound, i.e.,N1O2.5.

Now, the empirical mass of nitrogen oxide .
