The correct answer is: 22

Let the mass of organic compound = m g

Volume of nitrogen collected = V1 mL

Room temperature = T1K

V=22.78ml,T=280 K

Ptotal=759mmHg

PN2= Atmospheric pressure – Aqueous tension

PN2=759-14.2=744.8mmHg

22400 mL N2 at STP weighs 28 g.

V mL N2 gas at STP weighs = 28×V22400g

nNz=744.8×22.78760×1000×0.082×280=0.00097

WNitrogen=0.02716g

% N=0.027160.125×1000=21.728
