Characteristic properties can be used to describe and identify the substances, while non-characteristic properties, although can be used to describe the substances, cannot be used to identify them.
Temperature, mass, color, shape and volume are examples of non-characteristic properties.
Density, boiling point, melting point, chemical reactivity are examples of characteristic properties.

Answer:
0.085 moles of N₂O₅ are needed
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of NO₂ produces = 7.90 g
Moles of N₂O₅ needed = ?
Solution:
2N₂O₅ → 4NO₂ + O₂
Number of moles of NO₂ produced :
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 7.90 g/ 46 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.17 mol
now we will compare the moles of NO₂ with N₂O₅.
NO₂ : N₂O₅
4 : 2
0.17 : 2/4×0.17 = 0.085 mol
Thus, 0.085 moles of N₂O₅ are needed.
