step  one 
calculate  the  %  of  oxygen
from  avogadro  constant
1moles =  6.02  x  10  ^23  atoms
what  about    4.33  x10^22  atoms
= ( 4.33  x  10^ 22 x 1 mole )  /  6.02  10^23=   0.0719 moles
mass=  0.0719  x16=  1.1504   g
% composition   is therefore= ( 1.1504/3.25)  x100 = 35.40%
 step  two
calculate the  %  composition  of  chrorine
100-  (25.42  +  35.40)=39.18%

step  3
calculate the  moles   of  each  element
that   is  
Na  =  25.42  /23=1.1052  moles
Cl=  39.18  /35.5=1.1037moles
O=  35.40/16=  2.2125   moles
step  4
find  the  mole  ratio  by  dividing  each  mole  by  1.1037  moles
that  is
Na  =  1.1052/1.1037=1.001
Cl= 1.1037/1.1037=  1
0=2.2125 = 2
therefore  the  empirical  formula= NaClO2

Answer:

A.A gas exerts pressure on the walls of the container. Reason: They have high kinetic energy and negligible force of attraction to move constantly moving with high speed in all directions. ... These collisions of the gas particles with the container walls exert pressure on the walls of the container.

B A gas exerts pressure on the walls of the container due to imapact of its gas molecules with hight velocity .

C.A wooden table should be called a solid. Reason: It has a definite shape and volume. It is very rigid and cannot be compressed, i.e., it has a solid characteristic.

D.We can easily move our hand in air but to do the same through a solid block of wood we need a karate expert. It is because the molecules of air has less force of attraction between them and a very small external force can separate them and pass through it.
