For the estimation of nitrogen, \(1.4\, g\) of an organic compound was digested by Kjeldahl method and the evolved ammonia was absorbed in \(60\, mL\) of \(\frac{M}{10}\) sulphuric acid. The unreacted acid required \(20\, mL\) of \(\frac{M}{10}\) sodium hydroxide for complete neutralization. The percentage of nitrogen in the compound is .....\(\%\)
- A \(6\)
- B \(10\)
- C \(3\)
- D \(5\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(10\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\%\) of \(N=\frac{1.4 \times \text { meq.of acid }}{\text { mass of organic compound }}\) meq. of \(H_{2} S O_{4}=60 \times \frac{M}{10} \times 2=12\) meq. of \(N a O H=20 \times \frac{M}{10}=2\) meq. of acid consumed \(=12-2=10\)…
