Answer

Respectively: $0.5711 \frac{g \space O}{g \space N}; 1.142 \frac{g \space O}{g \space N}; 2.284 \frac{g \space O}{g \space N}; 2.885 \frac{g \space O}{g \space N}$

Work Step by Step

First compound: $\frac{mass \space of \space oxygen (g)}{mass \space of nitrogen(g)} = \frac{17.60 \space g \space O}{30.82 \space g \space N} = 0.5711 \frac{g \space O}{g \space N}$ Second compound: $\frac{mass \space of \space oxygen (g)}{mass \space of nitrogen(g)} = \frac{35.20 \space g \space O}{30.82 \space g \space N} = 1.142 \frac{g \space O}{g \space N}$ Third compound: $\frac{mass \space of \space oxygen (g)}{mass \space of nitrogen(g)} = \frac{70.40 \space g \space O}{30.82 \space g \space N} = 2.284 \frac{g \space O}{g \space N}$ Fourth compound: $\frac{mass \space of \space oxygen (g)}{mass \space of nitrogen(g)} = \frac{88.00 \space g \space O}{30.82 \space g \space N} = 2.885 \frac{g \space O}{g \space N}$
