(1. On the second floor of Kent Laboratory a chemistry student in 111B finds that 15.20 g of nitrogen will react with 17.37 g, 34.74 g, or 43.43 g of oxygen to form three different compounds: (a) Calculate the ratio of the mass of oxygen to the mass of nitrogen for each compound and (b) Explain briefly how the numbers in part (a) support the atomic theory.
