<span>The action that researchers take to make advances in science would be conducting experiments to test their hypothesis. By doing such, they are able to know whether the hypothesis is true or not. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
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.
I would think that the answer would be three
Because of the prefix tri- in "tigonal"
Tri- means 3, as in tricycle or triangle
So, it would make sense for the answer to be 3
