During the course of estimating nitrogen using Kjeldahl's method, the organic compound is heated with

  1. A conc. \(\mathrm{HCl}\)
  2. B dil. \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\)
  3. C conc. \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\)
  4. D conc. HI
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) conc. \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

While estimating nitrogen by Kjeldahl's method, the organic compound is heated with conc. \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\), so that nitrogen in the organic compound gets converted to \(\left(\mathrm{NH}_4\right)_2 \mathrm{SO}_4\).
