The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Kjeldahl Method**: The Kjeldahl method is a widely used procedure for determining the nitrogen content in organic compounds. It involves several steps: digestion, neutralization, and distillation. 2. **Digestion Process**: In the first step, the organic compound that contains nitrogen is digested with concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4). This process breaks down the organic material and converts the nitrogen present in the compound into ammonium sulfate. 3. **Formation of Ammonium Sulfate**: During digestion, the nitrogen from the organic compound reacts with sulfuric acid to form ammonium sulfate (NH4)2SO4. This is the key transformation that occurs in the Kjeldahl method. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the nitrogen in the organic compound is converted to ammonium sulfate during the Kjeldahl method. 5. **Final Answer**: The correct option is **Ammonium Sulfate**. ---
