JEE Main 2023 (Online) 24th January Morning Shift Chemistry - Biomolecules Question 45 English

Given:

Molar mass N = 14 g mol$$^{-1}$$

O = 16 g mol$$^{-1}$$

C = 12 g mol$$^{-1}$$

H = 1 g mol$$^{-1}$$

Answer
25

Explanation

Uracil is $\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{4} \mathrm{~N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}$

Mol. Wt of $\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{4} \mathrm{~N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}$ = 112

$\%$ by mass of $N=\frac{14 \times 2}{112} \times 100$

$$ =25 \% $$
