Question

200.00 grams of an organic compound is known to contain 83.884 grams of carbon, 10.486

Answer 1

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
