In Kjeldahl's method, ammonia from \(5 \mathrm{~g}\) of food neutralizes \(30 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}\) of \(0.1 \mathrm{~N}\) acid. The percentage of nitrogen in the food is

  1. A \(0.84\)
  2. B \(8.4\)
  3. C \(16.8\)
  4. D \(1.68\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(0.84\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From Kjeldahl's method, percentage of nitrogen
\[
\begin{aligned}
&=\frac{1.4 \times \mathrm{N} \times \mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{w}}=\frac{1.4 \times 0.1 \times 30}{5} \\
&=0.84 \%
\end{aligned}
\]
