Answer: N_2O_5

Explanation:

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 = 25.92 g

Mass of O = 74.07 g

Step 1 : convert given masses into moles.

Moles of N =\frac{\text{ given mass of N}}{\text{ molar mass of N}}= \frac{25.92g}{14g/mole}=1.85moles

Moles of O =\frac{\text{ given mass of O}}{\text{ molar mass of O}}= \frac{74.07g}{16g/mole}=4.63moles

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

For N = \frac{1.85}{1.85}=1

For O =\frac{4.63}{1.85}=2.5

The ratio of Fe : O= 1:2.5

Converting them into whole numbers, the ratio will be 2: 5

Hence the empirical formula is N_2O_5

Explanation! 

When given %, assume you have 100 g of the substance. Find moles, divide by lowest count. In this case you'll end up with

<span><span>25.92 g N<span>14.01 g N/mol N</span></span>=1.850 mol N</span>

<span><span>74.07 g O<span>16.00 g O/mol O</span></span>=4.629 mol O</span>

The ratio between these is <span>2.502 mol O/mol N</span>, which corresponds closely with <span><span>N2</span><span>O5</span></span>.

Answer:

Answer is Object 2 (which has a density of 1.9 g/cm³).

Explanation;

   When object is floating, the weight of that object is less than the up thrust on it.

   When an object fully submerged and floating, then the weight of that object is equal to the up thrust on it.

   This is known as the Archemide's principle.

   Both up thrust and weight depends on the density. Hence, if the density of the solution is high, then the up thrust also high. If the density high, the the weight of the object also high.

   Hence, to sink the object in water, that object should be denser than water. Hence, answer is object 3 which has a higher density than water.
