6a) What is the percent of nitrogen by mass in this coal
I. Look up the atomic masses for each of the elements in the formula:-
C - 12.01 H - 1.01 O - 16.00 N - 14.01 S - 32.06
II. Determine how many grams of each element are present in one mole of C135H96O9NS:-
C - 135 moles x 12.01 g/mole = 1621.35 g
H - 96 moles x 1.01 ...
