A compound is 22.5% nitrogen and 77.5% oxygen, What is the empirical formula of
this compound?

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since percent compositions are used to set up empirical formulas when assuming those percentages are masses, we can fist compute the moles of nitrogen and oxygen in the compound as shown below:

Now, we divide by the fewest moles to compute the subscripts:

Thus, the empirical formula turns out:

Best regards!

convalent bond :

is a chemical bond formed by the sharing of electron between 2 atoms.

it is the direct chemical bond between 2 atoms.

in bond formation atoms are involved here.

electrovalent bond:

is a chemical bond defined as electroststic attraction between 2 atoms.

it is the electrostatic attraction between 2 atoms.

in bond formation, ions are involved here.

hope it

and ur welcm
