Did you try Google?
12% nitrogen means that 12% of its mass is nitrogen.
Since you know the atomic mass of a nitrogen atom, you should know how much mass the two atoms of nitrogen have together.
Then, use proportions:
12% -> ? g
100% ->?? g
That would be the molecular weight of novacain or novocain whatever it's called.
