MCQ

In Kjeldahl's method for estimation of nitrogen, CuSO₄ acts as:

A
Oxidising agent.
B
Reducing agent.
C
Catalytic agent.
D
Hydrolysis agent.

✓

Answer

Hydrolysis agent.

Explanation:

In Kjeldahl's method (used for the estimation of nitrogen) the organic compound is heated with conc. H₂SO₄ in the presence of K₂SO₄ (used to elevate boiling point of H₂SO₄) and CusO₄ (used as catalyst) to convert all the nitrogen into (NH₄)₂SO₄
