Relative masses of atoms and molecules — practice question

Three nitrogen compounds and their formulae are listed: ammonia, $\text{NH}_3$; hydrazine, $\text{N}_2\text{H}_4$; hydroxylamine, $\text{NH}_2\text{OH}$. Which compound has the greatest relative molecular mass, $M_r$, and which compound has the largest percentage by mass of hydrogen?

  • Ahighest $M_r$: $\text{N}_2\text{H}_4$; greatest percentage by mass of hydrogen: $\text{NH}_3$
  • Bhighest $M_r$: $\text{N}_2\text{H}_4$; greatest percentage by mass of hydrogen: $\text{N}_2\text{H}_4$
  • Chighest $M_r$: $\text{NH}_2\text{OH}$; greatest percentage by mass of hydrogen: $\text{NH}_3$
  • Dhighest $M_r$: $\text{NH}_2\text{OH}$; greatest percentage by mass of hydrogen: $\text{N}_2\text{H}_4$
