Your materials probably contain water. A portion of the material may be in
the protonated state. Recalculate the expected values from adjusted water
content to see if the experimental C,H, N numbers become more accurate and
stay within acceptable levels of precision. At that point you have some
choices. This can be done with any spread sheet program.
