MCQ
In the estimation of nitrogen by KJeldahl's method, $2.8\,g$ of an organic compound required $20$ milli mol of $H_2SO_4$ for the complete neutralisation of $NH_3$ gas evolved. The percentage of nitrogen in the sample is?........$\%$
  • $20$
  • B
    $10$
  • C
    $40$
  • D
    $30$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$20$
a
Percentage of $\mathrm{N}=\frac{1.4 \times \mathrm{mEq} . \text { of } \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} \text { used to neutralise } \mathrm{NH}_{3}}{\text { Weight of compound }}$

millimoles of $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}=20$

milliequivalent of $\mathrm{H}_{4} \mathrm{SO}_{4}=20 \times 2=40$

Percentage of $\mathrm{N}$ in the sample $=\frac{1.4 \times 40}{2.8}=20 \%$
