Answer:

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 =

Moles of O =

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

For O =

The ratio of Fe : O= 1:2.5
Converting them into whole numbers, the ratio will be 2: 5
Hence the empirical formula is
