Kjeldahl's method was used for the estimation of nitrogen in an organic compound. The ammonia evolved from \(0.55\, g\) of the compound neutralised \(12.5\, mL\) of \(1\, M \,H _{2} SO _{4}\) solution. The percentage of nitrogen in the compound is \(.....\) (Nearest integer)

  1. A \(1\)
  2. B \(84\)
  3. C \(32\)
  4. D \(64\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(64\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Meq of \(H _{2} SO _{4}\) used by \(NH _{3}=12.5 \times 1 \times 2=25\) \(\%\) of \(N\) in the compound \(=\frac{25 \times 10^{-3} \times 14 \times 100}{0.55}=63.6\)
