Answer:
Percentage composition = 14.583%
Explanation:
In chemistry, the emprical formular of a compound is the simplest formular a compound can have. It shows the simplest ratio in which the elements are combined in the compound.
Percentage composition by mass of Nitrogen
Nitrogen = 14g/mol
In one mole of the compound;
Mass of Nitrogen = 1 mol * 14g/mol = 14g
Mass of compound = 1 mol * 96.0 g/mol = 96
Percentage composition of Nitrogen = (Mass of Nitrogen / Mass of compound) * 100
percentage composition = 14/96 * 100
Percentage composition = 0.14583 * 100
Percentage composition = 14.583%
