In Dumas' method for estimation of nitrogen 1 g of an organic compound gave 150 mL of nitrogen collected at 300 K temperature and 900 mm Hg pressure. The percentage composition of nitrogen in the compound is _____ \(\%\) (nearest integer).
(Aqueous tension at \(300 \mathrm{~K}=15 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}\))

  1. A 22
  2. B 24
  3. C 20
  4. D 18
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 20

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Partial pressure of \(\mathrm{N}_2=(900-15)=885 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}\) Mole of \(\mathrm{N}_2=\frac{\left(\frac{885}{760} \times 0.15\right)}{(0.0821 \times 300)}=0.0071\) Moles \(\%\) of nitrogen in organic compound…
