Acetaminophen is the generic name of the pain reliever in tylenol and some other headache remedies- the compoundhas the molecular formula c8h9n02. compute, to four significant figures, the mass percentage of each of the fourelements in acetaminophen.

The mass percentage of carbon element is 63.57 %, hydrogen element is 5.96 %, nitrogen element is 9.28 % and oxygen element is 21.19 %

Explanation:

We are given:

A chemical compound having chemical formula of . This compound is made by the combination of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen elements.

1 mole of acetaminophen contains 8 moles of carbon atom, 9 moles of hydrogen atom, 1 mole of nitrogen atom and 2 moles of oxygen atom

Mass of carbon element =

Mass of hydrogen element =

Mass of nitrogen element =

Mass of oxygen element =

Mass of the compound = 151 g/mol

To calculate the percentage composition of an element in a compound, we use the equation:

     ........(1)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

Hence, the mass percentage of carbon element is 63.57 %, hydrogen element is 5.96 %, nitrogen element is 9.28 % and oxygen element is 21.19 %

it's filtration, but this is an assumption so my apologies if i got this
