2) A 0.77 mg sample of nitrogen gas reacts with chlorine gas to form 6.61 mg of a nitrogen chloride compound. What is the empirical formula of the nitrogen chloride compound?

NCl₃

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of nitrogen (N) = 0.77 mg

Mass of chlorine (Cl) = 6.61 mg

Empirical formula =?

The empirical formula of the compound can be obtained as follow:

N = 0.77 mg

Cl = 6.61 mg

Divide by their molar mass

N = 0.77 / 14 = 0.055

Cl = 6.61 / 35.5 = 0.186

Divide by the smallest

N = 0.055 / 0.055 = 1

Cl = 0.186 /0.055 = 3

Therefore, the empirical formula of the compound is NCl₃

answer is: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

this is chemical change (chemical reaction), because two new substances are formed (metalig liquid and gas), the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change.

this is example of chemical decomposition.

chemical decomposition (analysis) is the separation of a single chemical compound into its two or more elemental parts or to simpler compounds.  

chemical decomposition is opposite of chemical synthesis.

i just learnt this recently but i need to look through my notes again
