Explanation:
Mass of the organic compound = 200g
Mass of carbon = 83.884g
Mass of hydrogen = 10.486g
Mass of oxygen = 18.640g
The mass of nitrogen = mass of organic compound - (mass of carbon + mass of hydrogen + mass of oxygen)
Mass of nitrogen = 200 - (83.884 + 10.486 + 18.64) = 200 - 113.01
Mass of nitrogen = 86.99g
