Question:
To find the empirical formula of tin oxide, you first react tin metal with nitric acid in a porcelain crucible. The metal is converted to tin nitrate, but, on heating the nitrate strongly, brown nitrogen dioxide gas is evolved and tin oxide is formed. In the laboratory you collect the following data:
Mass of crucible 13.457 g
Mass of crucible plus tin 14.710 g
Mass of crucible after heating 15.048 g
What is the empirical formula of tin oxide?
