When 1 g of compound (X) is subjected to Kjeldahl's method for estimation of nitrogen, 15 mL, 1M \(H_{2}SO_{4}\) was neutralized by ammonia evolved. The percentage of nitrogen in compound (X) is:

  1. A 21
  2. B 0.42
  3. C 42
  4. D 0.21
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 42

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

eq. of \(H_{2}SO_{4}\) = eq. of Ammonia \(\Rightarrow \frac{15 \times 1 \times 2}{1000}\) = moles of ammonia \(\times 1\) \(\Rightarrow\) Moles of ammonia = moles of 'N' \(\Rightarrow\) Weight of nitrogen = \(\frac{15 \times 1 \times 2}{1000} \times 14 = 0.42\) % weight of 'N' =…
