    Explanation:

    a) Nitrous oxide (N2O) has a molar mass of 44.014 amu. It has 2 nitrogen atoms each with a mass of 14.007 amu and 1 oxygen atom with a mass of 16.0 amu.

    Percentage nitrogen = (2*14.007 amu / 44.014 amu) * 100% = 63.6%

    Percentage oxygen = (16 amu/44.014 amu) * 100% = 36.4 %

    63.6% + 36.4% = 100%

    b) Benzoic acid (C7H6O2) has a molar mass of 122.13 amu. It has 6 hydrogen atoms each with a mass of 1.01 amu; it has 7 carbon atoms each with a mass of 12.01amu and 2 oxygen atoms with a mass of 16.0 amu.

    Percentage hydrogen = (6*1.01 amu / 122.13 amu) * 100% = 4.96%

    Percentage carbon = (7*12.01 amu / 122.13 amu) * 100% = 68.8%

    Percentage oxygen = (2*16 amu / 122.13 amu) * 100% = 26.2%

    c) Magnesium hydroxide (Mg (OH) 2) has a molecular mass of 58.32 amu. It has 2 hydrogen atoms each with a mass of 1.01 amu; it has 1 magnesium atom with a mass of 24.3 amu and two oxygen atoms with a mass of 16.0 amu.

    Percentage hydrogen = (2*1.01 amu / 58.32 amu) * 100% = 3.46 %

    Percentage magnesium = (24.3 amu/58.32 amu) * 100% = 41.7%

    Percentage oxygen = (2*16 amu/58.32 amu) * 100% = 54.9%

    d) Urea CO (NH2) 2 has a molecular mass of 60.064 amu. It has 2 Nitrogen atoms each with a mass of 14.007 amu, 4 hydrogen atoms each with a mass of 1.01 amu, 1 carbon atom with a mass of 12.01 amu and 1 oxygen atom with a mass of 16.0 amu.

    Percentage nitrogen = (2*14.007 amu / 60.064amu) * 100% = 46.6%

    Percentage hydrogen = (4*1.01 amu/60.064amu) * 100% = 6.72%

    Percentage carbon = (12.01 amu/60.064amu) * 100% = 20.0%

    Percentage oxygen = (16 amu/60.064amu) * 100% = 26.6%

    e) Osopentyl acetate (C7H14O2) has a molecular mass of 130.2 amu. It has 14 hydrogen atoms each with a mass of 1.01 amu, 7 carbon atoms each with a mass of 12.01 amu and 2 oxygen atom with a mass of 16.0 amu.

    Percentage hydrogen = (14*1.01 amu/130.2 amu) * 100% = 10.8%

    Percentage carbon = (7*12.01 amu/130.2 amu) * 100% = 64.6%

    Percentage oxygen = (2*16 amu/130.2 amu) * 100% = 24.6%
