Astronomers classify stars according to their physical characteristics. Characteristics used to classify stars include color, temperature, size, composition, and brightness. Stars vary in their chemical composition.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
It is not correct to assert that a chemical change has occurred if the number of atoms is greater after the reaction than it was before the reaction.
For every chemical reaction, the law of conservation of mass must be strictly adhered.
The law states that "during a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed, atoms are simply rearranged".
By the virtue of this law, the number of atoms at the beginning and the end of the reaction must remain the same for this law to be applicable.
<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.
