What is the empirical formula of a compound that contains 25.92 percent nitrogen and 74.07 percent oxygen?

Explanation:

If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of N = 25.92 g

Mass of O = 74.07 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of N =

Moles of O =

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For N =

For O =

The ratio of Fe : O= 1:2.5

Converting them into whole numbers, the ratio will be 2: 5

Hence the empirical formula is

it's c. elements are placed in rows based on how may valencies electrons have.

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
