The Percentage Composition of a Gas Is Nitrogen 82.35%, Hydrogen 17.64%. Find the Empirical Formula of the Gas

The percentage composition of a gas is Nitrogen 82.35%, Hydrogen 17.64%. Find the empirical formula of the gas. [N = 14, H = 1]

No. of mole of nitrogen = `82.35/14 = 5.88`

No. of mole of Hydrogen = `17.64/1 = 17.64`

The ratio of their mole is 5.88:17.64

1 : 3

So the empirical formula is `NH_3`
