A

Oxidising agent

B

Reducing agent

C

Hydrolysing agent

D

Catalytic agent

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Kjeldahl’s method depends upon the fact that most of the organic compounds containing nitrogen are quantitatively decomposed to give `(NH_(4))_(2).SO_(4)` when heated strongly with conc. `H_(2)SO_(4)` In this method `CuSO_(4)` acts as catalytic agent.
