Using Kjeldahl's method over 1 g of a soil sample, the ammonia evolved could neutralize 25ml of 1MH2SO4. Then, the percentage of nitrogen present in the sample is

  1. A 100%
  2. B 60%
  3. C 70%
  4. D 25%
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 70%

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

H2SO4 + 2NH3→NH42SO4 25ml of one molar sulphuric acid = 25mmol By applying the mole-mole analysis, mole of ammonia consumed= 50mmol. Hence, the acid used for the ammonia adsorption = 50-25=25mmol Normality of sulphuric acid = 2N Mass of sampleW = 1g So,…
