Question

Write the chemical formula for the covalent compound dinitrogen tetroxide and mention their molecular weight in brackets after the formula.

Answer 1

Dinitrogen tetroxide:

• Dinitrogen tetroxide is a covalent compound which is basically an oxidizing agent having molecular formula${\mathbf{N}}_{\mathbf{2}}{\mathbf{O}}_{\mathbf{4}}$.
• It is used as a useful reagent in chemical synthesis.
• It is composed of nitrogen and oxygen and has a molecular weight equal to 92 g/mol [ (2*14)+(4*16)].

Thus, the chemical formula and molecular weight of dinitrogen tetroxide is $\mathbf{\hspace{0.17em}}{\mathbf{N}}_{\mathbf{2}}{\mathbf{O}}_{\mathbf{4}}$ ( 92 g/mol).
