Estimation of nitrogen: There are two methods for the estimation of nitrogen (i) Dumas method and (ii) Kjedahl's method. i. Dumas method: A known mass of compound is heated with copper oxide (CuO) in an atomsphere of CO_(2) , which gives free nitrogen along with CO_(2) and H_(2)O C_(x)H_(y)N_(z) + (2x + y//2) CuO rarr xCO_(2) + y//2 (H_(2)O) + z//2 (N_(2)) + (2x + y//2) CU The gaseous mixture is passed over a heated copper gauze which converts traces of nitrogen oxides formed to N_(2) . The gaeous mixture is collected over an aqueous solution of KOH which absorbs CO_(2) , and nitrogen is callected in the upper part of the graduated tube. ii. Kjeldahl's method: A known mass of organic compound (0.5 gm) is mixed with K_(2)SO_(4) (10 gm) and CuSO_(4) . (1.0 gm) or a drop of mercury (Hg) and conc. H_(2)SO_(4) (25ml), and heated in Kjeldahl's flask. CuSO_(4) or Hg acts as a catalyst, while K_(2)SO_(4) raises the boiling point of H_(2)SO_(4) . The nitrogen in the organic compound is quantitatively converted to ammonium sulphate. The resulting mixture is then distilled with excess of NaOH solution and the NH_(3) evolved is passed into a known but excess volume of standard HCl or H_(2)SO_(4) . The acid left unused is estimated by titration with some standard alkali. The amount of acid used against NH_(3) can be thus be known and from this the percentage of nitrogen is calculated.
