<span>Mass of nitrogen = 14.0067
</span> Mass of oxygen = 15.9994
In this compound nitrogen = 36.86 / 14.0067 = 2.63 
<span>And oxygen = 63.14 / 15.9994 = 3.95 <span>
now we have: N----- 2.63 and O----3.95 
by dividing both with the smallest number we get
</span></span> <span>N-------2.63/2.63 = 1<span>
<span>O-------3.95/2.63 = 1.5
To get whole numbers we multiply both by 2
</span></span></span> N= 1 x 2 = 2 And O = 1.5 x 2= 3
<span>So, the empirical formula is N</span>₂O₃.

What do you expect will occur as air masses move over cold locations? Hot locations? How does this movement of air masses affect
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

When air masses will move over cold location then bottom layer of air cools and become more dense. Due to its high density it is trapped near the ground then it flow towards the equator.

When it moves over hot location then bottom layer gets hot and lighter. Then it moves towards poles.

It changes the temperature and humidity of the climate. making hoter region coll and cooler region a bit hot.

An ordered list of chemical substances is shown.
alina1380 [7]

Answer : The correct option is, (C) 2, 4 and 5.

Explanation :

Combustion reaction : It is a type of reaction in which a hydrocarbon react with an oxygen molecule to give carbon dioxide, water as a product.

For example : Methane react with oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water.

CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O

In the given list of chemical substances, CuO,Cu_2O,Li_2O are in oxide form. They can not be both reactant and product of a single combustion reaction.

In the given list, C_2H_5NH_2 is the only hydrocarbon which shows a combustion reaction. That means C_2H_5NH_2 react with O_2 to give CO_2,H_2O and N_2 as a product.

The balanced combustion reaction of C_2H_5NH_2 is,

20C_2H_5NH_2+40O_2\rightarrow 40CO_2+7H_2O+10N_2

Therefore, the correct answer is, (C) 2, 4, and 5.

During chemical reactions the bonds between atoms break and new bonds form. Energy must be absorbed to break a bond, so breaking
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The equation is: CuCO3(s) → CuO(s) + CO2(g)

Explanation:

Copper carbonate decomposes at high temperatures, generating the products carbon dioxide (CO2) and copper oxide (II) CuO. In this type of decomposition reaction, a substance is broken generating two different compounds.

Why is nucleus of an atom charged is negatively charged?
Damm [24]

Answer:

Charge is caused by a flow of electrons, since electrons are around the nucleus they can be lost or gained by atoms. When an atom gets charged, it gains a charge, that is, it gains an electron. Since electrons are negatively charged, when an atom gains one, it also becomes negatively charged.
