Two different compounds are obtained by combining nitrogen with oxygen. The first compound results from combining 46.7 g of N with 53.3 g of O, and the second compound results from combining 30.4 g of N and 69.6 g of O. Calculate the ratio of the mass ratio of O to N in the second compound to the mass ratio of O to N in the first compound. Express your answer numerically.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.

the correct answer is:

a. formation of precipitation

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!
