The hydrogen (H) in a container of C6H8NCL weighs 80 grams. How much does the nitrogen (N)
in the container weigh? (C,12; H,1; N,14; CL,35)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Based on chemical formula, there are 14 grams of nitrogen (N) for every 8 gram of hydrogen in this chemical.


THEREFORE, for 80 grams of hydrogen, there are %2880%2F8%29%2A14 = 10*14 = 140 grams of nitrogen (N).    ANSWER

Solved and explained.

Last time I studied Chemistry about  ...ty  years ago,  but still remember the basics.


By the way,  there is a lesson in this site on proportions in  Chemistry
    - Using proportions to solve Chemistry problems
in this site.

It is written specially for you.

Read it and become an expert in this area.
