MCQ
Caffeine has a molecular weight of $194$. If it contains $28.9\%$ by mass of nitrogen, number of atoms of nitrogen in one molecule of caffeine is
  • $4$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $3$

Correct option: A.
$4$
a
(a) $100\,gm$ caffeine has $28.9\,gm$ nitrogen

$194\,gm$ caffeine has = $\frac{{28.9}}{{100}} \times 194 = 56.06\,gm$

$\therefore $ No. of atoms in caffeine $ = \frac{{56.06}}{{14}} \approx 4$.
