Acompound weighing 115 g contains 68.3 g of carbon, 13.2 g of hydrogen, 15.9 g of nitrogen, and some amount of oxygen. solve for the mass percent of oxygen in the compound.

a.) 11.48%
b.) 15.30%
c.) 13.83%
d.) 13.91%

Weight of the compound = 115 gm
Weight of carbon = 68.3 gm
Weight of hydrogen = 13.2 gm
Weight of nitrogen = 15.9 gm
Then
Amount of oxygen = 115 - (68.3 + 13.2 + 15.9)
                              = 115 - 97.4
                              = 17.6 gm
Percentage of oxygen = (17.6/115) * 100
                                    = 15.30 percent
From the above deduction, it can be concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is option "B". 

They can measure  the amount of energy gained or lost
