Acompound consists of 4.50 g of nitrogen for every 7.71 g of oxygen and has the same empirical and molecular formula identify the compound

Explanation:

Hi, the empirical formula is the minimal expression of the molecule composition and doesn't always represent the molecule in the reality.

On the other hand the molecular formula is a multiple of the empirical and represents how the molecule is composed in reality.

In this case they are the same.

Now, nitrogen has an atomic weight of 14 g/mol and oxygen one of 16 g/mol:

So the formula would be:

Dividing per 0.321:

In natural numbers:

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.

i'm assuming that the correct answer is indeed the first one/ "a"..
