\(1.4\,kg\) of an organic compound was digested according to Kjeldahl 's method and the ammonia evolved was absorbed in \(60\,mL\) of \(M/10\,\,H_2SO_4\) solution. The excess sulphuric acid required \(20\,mL\) of \(M/10\,\,NaOH\) solution for neutralization. The percentage of nitrogen in the compound is

  1. A \(10\)
  2. B \(3\)
  3. C \(24\)
  4. D \(5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(10\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mili equivalents of \(H_2SO_4\) \( = 60 \times \frac{{M \times 2}}{{10}} = 12\) Mili equivalents of \(NaOH = 20 \times \frac{M}{{10}} = 2\) Mili equivalents of \(N{H_3} = 12 - 2 = 10\) \(\% \,\) of nitrogen…
