We use the Ideal Gas equation to determine the molar quantity of dinitrogen.................I get approx. #12%#................

Explanation:

#n=(PV)/(RT)=(1*atmxx20.7xx10^-3L)/(0.0821*L*atm*K^-1*mol^-1xx288*K)#

#=8.76xx10^-4*mol# with respect to #"dinitrogen"#.

And, this, in the initial mass of compound, there were #8.76xx10^-4*molxx28.02*g*mol^-1# #=0.0245*g# of nitrogen BY MASS.

And thus...................#"% nitrogen"#.............

#=(0.0245*g)/(0.20*g)xx100%=??%#
