atomic weight of each element in N2

Step III: Determine the number of atoms of each element present in the N2 compound.

As per the chemical formula, N2, It is made up of and 2 Nitrogen atoms.

Element Number of Atoms
N (Nitrogen) 2

Step IV: Calculate the molar mass of the Nitrogen gas (N2) compound by applying the formula:

Formula to calculate Molar mass

For Nitrogen gas (N2):

Molar mass = Σ [(Atomic weight of Nitrogen (N) x Number of N-atoms)] in N2

Substituting into the above formula, the values determined in steps II and III:

Molar mass of N2 = [(14.0067 x 2)]

Molar mass of N2 = 28.0134 = 28.0134 g/mol

Result: The molecular weight and molar mass of Nitrogen gas (N2) is 28.0134 g/mol.

FAQs

What is the mass percent composition of Nitrogen (N) in Nitrogen gas (N2)?

To find the mass percent of Nitrogen in N2, follow the steps given below:
  • Determine the atomic weight of Nitrogen i.e., 14.0067 g/mol.
  • Find the mass of Nitrogen (N) in N2 by multiplying the atomic weight of an N-atom with the total number of N-atoms in N2 i.e., 2.

∴ Mass of Nitrogen in N2 = 14.0067 x 2 = 28.0134 g/mol.

Mass Percent Composition (%) Formula = (Mass of Element in the Compound/Molar Mass of the Compound) x 100

∴ Mass percent of Nitrogen in N2 = (Mass of Nitrogen in N2/Molar mass of N2) × 100%
∴ Mass percent of Nitrogen in N2 = (28.0134/28.0134) × 100% = 100.00 %

Result: N2 contains 100.00 % of Nitrogen as per its chemical composition.

What is the atomic percentage composition of elements in Nitrogen gas (N2)?

Atomic percentage composition formula (%) = Number of atoms of a particular element in a compound/Total number of atoms in that compound

For N2:
• There’s 2 N-atoms.
• Total atoms in N2 = 2 = 2

The atomic percentage composition of elements in the compound is:

Atomic percentage of Nitrogen (N) in N2:
= (2/2) * 100
= 100.00%

How many grams of Nitrogen are present in 1 mole of N2?

There are 2 N-atoms in a N2 molecule.
• Atomic weight of a N-atom = 14.0067 g/mol
∴ Total mass of Nitrogen in 1 mole of N2 = 2 x 14.0067 = 28.01 g.
Therefore there are 28.01 grams of Nitrogen in 1 mole of N2.

 

What is the mass of 2 mol of N2?

The molecular mass of N2 is 28.0134 g/mol. This means 28.0134 grams of N2 are present per mole.
Therefore, we can find the mass of N2 in 2 moles as follows:
Moles = Mass/Molar Mass
∴ Mass of N2 = Moles x Molar mass
∴ Mass of N2 = 2 x 28.0134 = 56.03 g
Thus, the mass of 2 mol of N2 is 56.03 g.

 

If you have 19.6094 grams of N2, how many moles do you have?

∴ Moles = Mass/Molar mass
∴ Moles of N2 = 19.6094/28.0134 = 0.7000
Thus, there are 0.7000 moles of N2 in its 19.6094 grams.

 

What is the mass in kg of 4.67 x 1025 molecules of N2?

1 mole of a substance contains Avogadro number of particles i.e., 6.02 x 1023.
Therefore, the number of moles in 4.67 x 1025 molecules of N2 are:
∴ Moles of N2 = 4.67 x 1025/6.02 x 1023 = 77.6

Now that we have its number of moles, so, we can use the molar mass of N2 (28.0134 g/mol) to find its mass as shown below.

∴ Mass of N2 = Moles x Molar mass
∴ Mass of N2 = 77.6 x 28.0134 = 2172.62 g

Converting mass from grams (g) to kilograms (kg) gives us:

∴ Mass of N2 = 2172.62/1000 = 2.17 kg
The mass of 4.67 x 1025 molecules of N2 is 2.17 kg.

 

What is the molar mass and molecular weight of Nitrogen gas (N2)?

N2 is composed of .
  • The atomic weight of Nitrogen is 14.0067 g/mol.

To find the molecular mass of N2, one multiplies the atomic weight of each element by its number of atoms in the molecule and then sums the results.

∴ For N2, it’s (2 x 14.0067).

Therefore, the molar mass of Nitrogen gas (N2) is 28.0134 g/mol.
