Question

Nitrogen and oxygen can react to form various compounds.

Two experiments showed that one compound is formed when 3.62 g of nitrogen and 2.07 g of oxygen react completely, while another compound is formed when 1.82 g of nitrogen reacts completely with 4.13 g of oxygen.

Which of the following are most likely the molecular formulas for the nitrogen oxides obtained in these experiments?(1) NO, N2O(2) NO, NO2(3) N2O, N2O5(4) NO, N2O4(5) N2O, N2O4

Answer 1

5- N20 and N2O5

Step-by-step explanation:

Full working is shown in the image attached. It is important to remember that NO2 dimerizes to N2O4 while N2PO occurs as monomers.
