Answer: 2. NO_2

Explanation:

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

a) If percentage are given then we are taking total mass is 100 grams.

So, the mass of each element is equal to the percentage given.

Mass of N = 30.4 g

Mass of O= 69.6 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles

Moles of N=\frac{\text{ given mass of N}}{\text{ molar mass of N}}= \frac{30.4g}{14g/mole}=2.2moles

Moles of O=\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{69.6g}{16g/mole}=4.4moles

Step 2 : For the mole ratio, divide each value of moles by the smallest number of moles calculated.

For N = \frac{2.2}{2.2}=1

For O =\frac{4.4}{2.2}=2

The ratio of N: O = 1; 2

Hence the empirical formula is NO_2

Goshia [24]

when we convert 32.5 lb/in² to atmosphere, the result obtained is 2.21 atm

<h3>Conversion scale</h3>

14.6959 lb/in² = 1 atm

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
  • Pressure (in lb/in²) = 32.5 lb/in²
  • Pressure (in ATM) =?

<h3>How to convert 32.5 lb/in² to atm</h3>

14.6959 lb/in² = 1 atm

Therefore

32.5 lb/in² = 32.5 / 14.6959

32.5 lb/in² = 2.21 atm

Thus, 32.5 lb/in² is equivalent to 2.21 atm
