It either forms a base or an acid...I think that's the answer you're looking for
The empirical formula is N₂O₅.
The empirical formula is the <em>simplest whole-number ratio of atoms</em> in a compound.
The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles, so our job is to calculate the <em>molar ratio of N:O</em>.
I like to summarize the calculations in a table.
<u>Element</u> <u>Moles</u> <u>Ratio¹ </u> <u> ×2² </u> <u>Integers</u>³
N 1.85 1 2 2
O 4.63 2.503 5.005 5
¹To get the molar ratio, you divide each number of moles by the smallest number (1.85).
²Multiply these values by a number (2) that makes the numbers in the ratio close to integers.
³Round off the number in the ratio to integers (2 and 5).
The empirical formula is N₂O₅.
The theory that describes the motion and force driving earth's plates is Plate tectonics
Explanation:
Plate tectonics states that the outer shell of the Earth is divided into plates that glide and move over the mantle which is the surface of the earth.
The mantle is the rocky inner layer above the core of the Earth.
Plate tectonics helped the geologists to explain how continents could move around the planet.
There are 9 major plate tectonics , namely North American, Pacific, Eurasian, Australian, African, Indo - Australian,Indian South American and Antarctic. These plates have been named after the land form found on them.
