How does this elemental analysis work?

Task 2: Can someone explain to me how to solve this problem? Or, for N2 under normal conditions, do I need to use the formula pV=nRT, or do I need to deduce n or m in another way? Thanks in advance 🙂

Right, over pV=nRT you can calculate the amount of material and from it the mass directly. I also suspect that standard conditions (20/25 °C) are accepted. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense.

Do not forget that O2 can also be contained in the molecule in CO2 and H20. So…

I would have done it over the weight. First, determine the weight of H, C, N (i.e.: m(H2O*M(H2)/M(H2O))) if a difference to the weighing is obtained, O must still be present. Then I would have converted into quantities of material and set up the sum formula from the ratios.

If you want to compare solutions.

Did you consider that N2 has M=28 g/mol?
