Correct answer: 109

The question as shown is incomplete because the identity/formula of compound XXX is missing. In Dumas' method, the volume of N2\mathrm{N_2}N2​ liberated depends on the number of nitrogen atoms per molecule and the molar mass of XXX.

1. General relation

If compound XXX has molecular formula with:

  • molar mass MMM
  • nnn nitrogen atoms per molecule

then moles of compound in 0.42 g0.42\,\text{g}0.42g are 0.42M.\frac{0.42}{M}.M0.42​.

Since each molecule containing nnn nitrogen atoms gives n2\frac{n}{2}2n​ moles of N2\mathrm{N_2}N2​,

moles of N2\mathrm{N_2}N2​ formed are 0.42M⋅n2.\frac{0.42}{M}\cdot \frac{n}{2}.M0.42​⋅2n​.

At STP, volume is V=0.42M⋅n2⋅22400 mL.V=\frac{0.42}{M}\cdot \frac{n}{2}\cdot 22400\,\text{mL}.V=M0.42​⋅2n​⋅22400mL. So, V=4704 nM mL.V=\frac{4704\,n}{M}\,\text{mL}.V=M4704n​mL.

2. Using the stored answer

Stored answer is 109 mL109\,\text{mL}109mL. Hence 4704nM≈109.\frac{4704n}{M}\approx 109.M4704n​≈109. So, M≈4704n109.M\approx \frac{4704n}{109}. M≈1094704n​.

For common organic nitrogen compounds, if n=1n=1n=1, M≈4704109≈43.2,M\approx \frac{4704}{109}\approx 43.2,M≈1094704​≈43.2, which is not a typical integer molar mass for a stable simple CHN compound matching usual exam patterns.

If n=2n=2n=2, M≈9408109≈86.3,M\approx \frac{9408}{109}\approx 86.3,M≈1099408​≈86.3, which suggests a compound of molar mass about 868686 containing two nitrogen atoms. Then the exact volume would be V=4704×286=109.4 mL,V=\frac{4704\times 2}{86}=109.4\,\text{mL},V=864704×2​=109.4mL, whose nearest integer is 109 mL.109\,\text{mL}.109mL.

Thus the stored answer is consistent with a missing compound formula having 2 nitrogen atoms and molar mass 868686.

3. Conclusion

Because the formula of compound XXX is absent in the provided question image/text, the answer cannot be derived uniquely from the visible data alone.

However, the stored answer 109109109 mL is internally consistent with a likely omitted formula for XXX.
