JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 8.3. Organic chemistry purification and characterization
Given below are two statements I and II.
Statement I: Dumas method is used for estimation of "Nitrogen" in an organic compound.
Statement II: Dumas method involves the formation of ammonium sulphate by heating the organic compound with conc \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\).
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
- A Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- B Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- C Statement I is false but Statement II is true
- D Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In Dumas method nitrogen present in organic compound is converted into \(\mathrm{N}_2\) gas whose volumetric analysis gives the percentage of nitrogen atom in the organic compound.
