Assuming an equal mass of nitrogen in each compound, which oxide of nitrogen contains the greatest number of moles of oxygen atoms? n2o3n2o5no2no

N₂O₅

Explanation:

To compare the number of moles of oxygen atoms, we will refer them to the same mass (1 g) of N.

N₂O₃

In 1 mole of N₂O₃ we have 3 moles of atoms of O.

In 1 mole of N₂O₃ we have 28 g of N.

The ratio moles of O:mass of N is 3 mol O : 28 g N = 0.11 mol O : 1 g N

N₂O₅

In 1 mole of N₂O₅ we have 5 moles of atoms of O.

In 1 mole of N₂O₅ we have 28 g of N.

The ratio moles of O:mass of N is 5 mol O : 28 g N = 0.18 mol O : 1 g N

NO₂

In 1 mole of NO₂ we have 2 moles of atoms of O.

In 1 mole of NO₂ we have 14 g of N.

The ratio moles of O:mass of N is 2 mol O : 14 g N = 0.14 mol O : 1 g N

NO

In 1 mole of NO we have 1 mole of atoms of O.

In 1 mole of NO we have 14 g of N.

The ratio moles of O:mass of N is 1 mol O : 14 g N = 0.07 mol O : 1 g N

N₂O₅ is the one with the greatest number of moles of oxygen atoms per gram of N.

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
