A sample of 0.50 g of anorganic compound was treated according to KjeldahlтАЩs method. The ammoniaevolved was absorbed in 50 mL of 0.5 M H2SO4. Theresidual acid required 60 mL of 0.5 M solution of NaOH for neutralisation. Findthe percentage composition of nitrogen in the compound.



Answer -

Given that, total massof organic compound = 0.50 g

60 mL of 0.5 M solutionof NaOH was required by residual acid for neutralisation.

60 mL of 0.5 M NaOHsolution┬аH2SO4┬а=30 mL of 0.5 M H2SO4

тИ┤Acid consumed inabsorption of evolved ammonia is (50тАУ30) mL = 20 mL

Again, 20 mL of 0.5 MH2SO4┬а=40 mL of 0.5 MNH3

Also, since 1000 mL of 1MNH3┬аcontains 14 g of nitrogen,

тИ┤ 40 mL of 0.5 M NH3┬аwillcontain┬а= 0.28 g of N
Therefore, percentage ofnitrogen in 0.50 g of organic compound┬а= 56 %
