According to the law of multiple proportions, what is the simple whole number ratio predicted from the following data?
Nitrogen and oxygen react to form three different compounds according to the chart below:
compound1: 14 g of nitrogen reacts with 8 grams of oxygen
Compound 2: 14 g of nitrogen reacts with 16 g of oxygen
Compound 3: 14 g of nitrogen reacts with 32 g of oxygen.
Answer in the following format (example) 3:4:5
