Answer:

It is given that nitrogen and oxygen are combined together in the ratio of 7:16 by mass.

Mass of nitrogen = 14u

Mass of oxygen = 16u and mass of O2 = 16× 2 = 32u

Hence, we can write 14:32 which is equal to 7:16

Therefore, the formula of the oxide is NO2 and its name is nitrous dioxide.
