The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements regarding the estimation of elements and compounds are wrong, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement 1: Sulphur is estimated by Carius method as barium sulphate.** - The Carius method is indeed used to estimate sulfur by converting it into barium sulfate (BaSO4). This statement is correct. 2. **Statement 2: Victor Meyer’s method is used for the determination of molecular mass of a non-volatile compound.** - The Victor Meyer method is specifically used for determining the molecular mass of volatile acids, not non-volatile compounds. Therefore, this statement is incorrect. 3. **Statement 3: Kjeldahl's method is used for all nitrogen-containing organic compounds.** - The Kjeldahl method has limitations and cannot be used for certain nitrogen-containing compounds, such as those with nitro groups or nitrogen in a ring structure. Thus, this statement is also incorrect. 4. **Statement 4: Phosphorus is estimated by Carius method as magnesium ammonium phosphate.** - Phosphorus is estimated by the Carius method in the form of magnesium pyrophosphate (Mg2P2O7), not magnesium ammonium phosphate. Therefore, this statement is incorrect as well. ### Conclusion: - The wrong statements are: - Statement 2: Victor Meyer’s method is used for the determination of molecular mass of a non-volatile compound. - Statement 3: Kjeldahl's method is used for all nitrogen-containing organic compounds. - Statement 4: Phosphorus is estimated by Carius method as magnesium ammonium phosphate. ### Final Answer: The wrong statements are **2, 3, and 4**. ---
