This problem is providing the ratio of nitrogen to oxygen by mass in nitrogen monoxide, NO, as 7.0:8.0 and asks for the same ratio but in NO₂ and N₂O₇. After doing the calculations, the results are 7.0:16.0 and 1.0:4.0 respectively.

<h3>Mass ratios:</h3>

In chemistry, one can calculate the mass ratios in chemical formulas according to the atomic mass of each atom. In such a way, one knows the mass ratio of nitrogen to oxygen in NO is 7.0:8.0 because we divide the atomic mass of nitrogen by oxygens:

$\frac{14}{16}=\frac{7.0}{8.0}$

Now, for chemical formulas with subscripts, one must multiply the atomic mass of the element by the subscript in the formula, which is the case of NO₂ and N₂O₇ as shown below:

$NO_2:\frac{14}{16*2}=\frac{14}{32} =\frac{7.0}{16.0} \\
\\
N_2O_7:\frac{14*2}{16*7}=\frac{28}{112} =\frac{1.0}{4.0}$

Therefore, the results for NO₂ and N₂O₇ are 7.0:16.0 and 1.0:4.0 respectively

How does the periodic table help in predicting the formula of a stable ionic compound?

marshall27 [118]

A. This is a FALSE statement because Metals in Group 1 form cations with a +1 charge and not -1.

B. This is a TRUE statement.

C. This is a FALSE statement because metals do not form anions i.e. negatively charged ions but form cations i.e. positively charged ions.

D. This is a FALSE statement because metals do not form anions i.e. negatively charged ions but form cations i.e. positively charged ions.

How many hydrogen atoms are in 105 g of water?

mel-nik [20]

Moles of water atoms = mass/molecular weight = 105/18 = 5.83 mol. Number of moles of hydrogen in water = 2 x moles of water = 11.66. Number of H atoms in water = moles of hydrogen x 6.02 x 10^23 = 7.019 x 10^24 ~ 7.02 x 10^24 atoms. Hope this helps.

How are science and technology related

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Science is the study of the world and how it works through collecting data using the scientific method. Technology is the application of that scientific knowledge to create devices that solve problems and carry out tasks.
