Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(56\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4+2 \mathrm{NH}_3 \rightarrow\left(\mathrm{NH}_4\right)_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\) Millimole of \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 \rightarrow 10 \times 2\) So Millimole of \(\mathrm{NH}_3=20 \times 2=40\) Organic \(\rightarrow\) \(\mathrm{NH}_3\) Compound 40…
