The empirical mass of NO is 14 + 16 = 30
Divide 138 / 30 ~ = 4.5.
The fact that the numbers are not whole number would suggest that the empirical formula is incorrect.
However, if we use say NO2 as the empirical formula , then the empirical mass is 14 + 16 + 16 = 46
divide 138 /46 = 3
So NO2 has a formula of N3O6 . This substance does not exist, So it would suggest that the formula is 3NO2 (3/2)N2O4 .
I would suggest that the original empirical formula is incorrect. and that the substance is either nitrogen dioxide (NO2) or dinitrogen tetroxide N2O4.

∙ 12y agoThe formula of NO2 has a molecular weight of 46 g/mol. Your compound has a molecular weight of 92 g/mol. As you can see the molecular weight of the compound is twice that of the empirical formula. Therefore the molecular formula of your compound is:
2 *(NO2) ---> N2O4

∙ 6y agoAr of N = 14g/mol Ar of O = 16g/mol
Mr of NO2 = 14+2(16) = 46g/mol
Mr of NxO2x = 138.02g/mol
(Mr of NxO2x / Mr of NO2) = 138.02/46 = 3.000434783 = 3 Therefore x = 3 and the molecular formula is N3O2(3) = N3O6 (but this compound is only hypothetical)

How many moles of molecules are in 25.5g of NO2?
Determine the molar mass of NO2 using the subscripts in the formula and the atomic weights in grams from the periodic table. 1 mole NO2 = (1 x 14.0067g N) + (2 x 15.9994g O) = 46.0055g NO2 Calculate the moles NO2 by dividing the given mass by the molar mass. 25.5g NO2 x (1mol NO2/46.0055g NO2) = 0.554mol NO2
