A gaseous compound of nitrogen and hydrogen contains \(12.5\%\) (by mass) of hydrogen. The density of the compound relative to hydrogen is \(16\) .The molecular formula of the compound is

  1. A \(NH_2\)
  2. B \(N_3H\)
  3. C \(NH_3\)
  4. D \(N_2H_4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(N_2H_4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In an unknown compounds containing \(N\) and \(H\) given \(\%\) of \(H\) \(= 12.5\%\) \(\therefore \) \(\%\) of \(N\) \(= 100-12.5 = 87.5\%\) Element Percentage Atomic ratio Simple ratio \(H\) \(12.5\%\) \(\frac{12.5}{1}=12.5\) \(\frac{12.5}{6.25}=2\) \(N\) \(87.5\%\)…
