The correct answer is:
4
M.wt. of caffeine $=194 \mathrm{u}$ $\%$ of $\mathrm{N}$ present in one molecular of caffeine is $28.9 \%$ of
$194 u=\frac{28.9}{100} \times 194=56 u$
Mass of one $\mathrm{N}$ atom $=14 \mathrm{~m}$
$=1 \mathrm{~N}$ atom $\quad(\because 14 \mathrm{~m}=14 \mathrm{u})$
$\therefore \quad 56 \mathrm{u}=\frac{56}{14} \mathrm{~N}$ atom $=4 \mathrm{~N}$ atom
$194 u=\frac{28.9}{100} \times 194=56 u$
Mass of one $\mathrm{N}$ atom $=14 \mathrm{~m}$
$=1 \mathrm{~N}$ atom $\quad(\because 14 \mathrm{~m}=14 \mathrm{u})$
$\therefore \quad 56 \mathrm{u}=\frac{56}{14} \mathrm{~N}$ atom $=4 \mathrm{~N}$ atom
