Answer: In the given amount of caffeine, 1.2 moles of nitrogen is there.
Explanation:
The chemical formula for caffeine molecule is [tex]C_8H_{10}N_4O_2[/tex]
This is formed by the combination of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen atoms.
In 1 mole of caffeine molecule, 8 moles of carbon atom, 10 moles of hydrogen atom, 4 moles of nitrogen atom and 2 moles of oxygen atoms are present.
We are given:
Moles of caffeine = 0.30 moles
So, in 0.3 moles of caffeine, (0.3 × 4) = 1.2 moles of nitrogen atom will be there.
Hence, in the given amount of caffeine, 1.2 moles of nitrogen is there.
