`29.5mg` of an organic compound containing nitrogen was digested according to Kjeldahl's method and the evolved ammonia was absorbed in `20mL` of `0.1M HCl` solution. The excess of for complete neutralization. The percentage of nitrogen in the compound is

A

`23.7`

B

`29.5`

C

`59.0`

D

`47.4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`underset((HCl))(M_(1)V_(1))=underset((NaOH))(M_(2)V_(2))`
`0.1xxV=0.1xx15`
`V_(HCl)=15ml`
`:.` Volume of `HCl` used by `NH_(3)`
`=20-15=5ml`
`%` of `N=(1.4NV)/(W)`
`N=` Normality of acid used
`V=` Volume of acid used
`W=` wt. of organic compound
For `HCl`, normality `=` Molarity ( `:.` Basicity is `1`)
`%` of `N=(1.4xx0.1xx5)/(29.5xx10^(-3))=23.73%`

For the estimation of nitrogen 1.4g of an organic compound was digested by Kjeldahl method and the evaloed ammonia was absorbed in 60mL of (M)/(10) sulphuric acid. The unreacted acid required 20mL of (M)/(10) sodium hydroxide for complete neutralisation . The percentage of nitrogen in the compound is

0.257 g of an organic substance was Kjeldahlised and ammonia evolved was absorbed in 50 mL of N/10 HCl which required 23.2 ml of N/10 NaOH for neutralization. Determine the percentage of nitrogen in the compound.

1.15 g of an organic compound was analysed by Kjeldahl.s method and the ammonia produced was collected in 30 mL of normal HCl solution. The excess of acid consumed 18.4 mL of normal sodium hydroxide solution for back titration. Calculate the percentage of nitrogen in the substance.

0.35 g of an organic substance was Kjeldahlised and the ammonia obtained was passed into 100 ml of N/5 H_(2)SO_(4) . The excess acid required 154 ml of N/10 NaOH for neutralisation. Calculate the percentage of nitrogen in the compound.
