A compound contains only nitrogen and oxygen and has a formula mass of 44.02 {rm amu}.?

What is the formula of the compound? how do you find that?

Answer 1

There’s not enough information to do it other than “trial and error”
using N=14 and O=16 and a systematic order of trials

NO 14+16=30

NO2 14+(16×2)=46 Too high!

N2O (14×2)+16= 44 Eureka!!!!

answer 2

Amu oxygen
