Your body deals with excess nitrogen by excreting it in the form of urea, NH2CONH2. The reaction producing it is the combination of arginine (C6H14N4O2) with water to give urea and ornithine (C5H12N2O2).

C6H14N4O2 + HO  NHCONH + C5H2NO2 arginine urea ornithine

If you excrete 95 mg of urea, what mass of arginine must have been used? What mass of ornithine must have been produced?
