Using the given ratio, we can set up the equation: (mass of 11ea7a5e_3e29_26d0_89bd_5f1b689cc39d_TB5343_11 / mass of ¹⁴N) = 1.167 Let x be the mass of ¹⁴N Then, (x / 28.086 u) = 1.167 (since the mass of 11ea7a5e_3e29_26d0_89bd_5f1b689cc39d_TB5343_11 is 28.086 u) Solving for x gives us x = 14.004 u, which is closest to choice C.
