Question 512 Marks
0.35g of an organic compound was Kjeldahlised. The ammonia evolved on distilling the Kjeldahlised extract with 100ml of $\frac{\text{M}}{10\text{ H}_2\text{SO}_4}$ The residual acid required 154ml of $\frac{\text{M}}{10\text{ NaOH}}$ for complete neutralization. Calculate the percentage of nitrogen in organic compound.

[$\because$ $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4$ is dibasic acid]
$2\times\frac{1}{10}\times\text{V}_1=\frac{1}{10}\times154$
$\text{V}_1=77\text{ml}$
Volume of neutralised with $\mathrm{NH}_3$
$=100-77=23\text{ml}$
$\%\text{ of N}=\frac{2.8\times\text{M}_\times\text{V}_1}{\text{W}}$
$=\frac{2.8}{0.35}\times\frac{1}{10}\times23=18.4\%$
