Solution

The correct option is B 17.46%
Volume of Nitrogen collected at 300K and 715mm
pressure is 50ml
Actual pressure =71515=700mm
Volume of Nitrogen at STP=273×700×50300×760[Pressure×Vol.×273760×Temperature]
=41.9ml
22,400ml of N2 at STP weighs=28g
41.9ml of N2 weighs=28×41.9g22400
Percentage of N2=28×41.9×10022400×0.3=17.46%
