Answer is: c. N2O, N2O4, N2O5.

Law of multiple proportions or Dalton's Law said that the ratios of the masses of the second element which combine with a fixed mass of the first element will be ratios of small whole numbers.

1) NO; m(N) : m(O) = 14 : 16 = 7 : 8.

2) N₂O; m(N) : m(O) = 2·14 : 16 = 7 : 4.

3) NO₂; m(N) : m(O) = 14 : 2·16 = 7 : 16.

4) N₂O₅; m(N) : m(O) = (2·14) : (5·16) = 7 : 20.

5) NO₄; m(N) : m(O) = 14 : (4·16) = 7 : 32.

6) N₂O₄; m(N) : m(O) = (2·14) : (4·16) = 7 : 16.

A) m(N) : m(O) = 5.6 g : 3.2 g /÷3.2

m(N) : m(O) = 1.75 : 1 /×4.

m(N) : m(O) = 7 : 4.

B)  m(N) : m(O) = 3.5 g : 8.0 g /÷3.5

m(N) : m(O) = 1 : 2.285/ ×7.

m(N) : m(O) = 7 : 16.

C)  m(N) : m(O) = 1.4 g : 4.0 g / ÷ 1.4.

m(N) : m(O) = 1 : 2857/ ×7.

m(N) : m(O) = 7 : 20.

The possible formula in Dalton's time (had never heard of a mole)

a. NO₂, NO₈, NO₁₀

c. N₂O, N₂O₄, N₂O₅

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Dalton's law of multiple comparisons states that if elements are forming two or more kinds of compounds, if the mass of one of the elements is known to be the same / fixed, then the mass of the second element in the two compounds will have a ratio as a simple integer.

The available samples show the ratio of masses of elements N and O as follows:

  • 1. Compound A: N: O = 5.6: 3.2 = 1.75: 1
  • 2. Compound B: N: O = 3.5: 8.0 = 1: 2,235
  • 3. Compound C: N: O = 1.4: 4.0 = 1: 2.8857

To simplify numbers into simple integers, we multiply all the comparisons above by multiplying 7, so we get:

Compound A: 7: 4

Compound B: 7:16

Compound C: 7:20

From the results of this comparison shows that for the same number of N, the ratio of element O is 4:16:20 = 1: 4: 5 (fulfills Dalton's theory)

So according to Dalton (because there is no concept of the mole) then there is a possibility that the compound is:

a. NO₂, NO₈, NO₁₀

c. N₂O, N₂O₄, N₂O₅

But if we use the mole concept which shows the empirical formula of the compounds, the mole ratio of each compound is:

  • Compound A:

5.6 / 14: 3.2: 16 = 0.4: 0.2 = 2: 1

  • Compound B:

3.5 / 14: 8/16 = 0.25: 0.5 = 1: 2 = 2: 4

  • Compound C:

1.4 / 14: 4/16 = 0.1: 0.25 = 2: 5

So if we use the mole concept, then the appropriate compound is c. N₂O, N₂O₄, N₂O₅

IgorLugansk [536]
The answer would be a planet<span>. Planets revolve around stars, which means there will come a point where the planet is between the star and our field of vision towards the star. This point will be where the star's radiation will have the lowest intensity. As the planet moves, the intensity will change. The effect is comparable to a lunar or solar eclipse.</span>

How many moles are 21.67 L of NH4CI?<br> Type your answer...
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

0.967mole

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of NH₄Cl  = 21.67L

Unknown:

Number of moles  = ?

Solution:

We assume that the volume was taken at standard temperature and pressure,

 Then;

  Number of moles  = \frac{volume }{22.4L}  

 Number of moles  = \frac{21.67}{22.4}   = 0.967mole
