Mass perventage of nitrogen in urea, arginine, ornithine is   46.67%, 32.2%,21% respectively.

What is Mass perventage ?

Mass percentage is one way of representing the concentration of an element in a compound or a component in a mixture. Mass percentage is calculated as the mass of a component divided by the total mass of the mixture, multiplied by 100.

Molecular mass of urea (NH2CONH2) is= 2× (Atomic mass of N ) + 4 × (Atomic mass of H) + (Atomic mass of C) (Atomic mass of O) = 60

Mass percentage of N = Total mass of N atoms in the compoundMass of compound×100=2860×100=46.67%

chemical formula for arginine is C6H14N4O2

molar mass of C6H14N4O2=174g/mol

moles of N atoms in C6H14N4O2=4

mass of N atoms=14*4=56g

mass percent of N in C6H14N4O2=(56/174)*100=32.2%

the chemical formula for ornithine is C5H12N2O2

molar mass of C5H12N2O2=132g/mol

moles of N atoms in C5H12N2O2=2

mass of N atoms in C5H12N2O2=2*14=28

mass percent of N in C5H12N2O2=(28/132)*100=21%
