\( 0.5 g \) of an organic compound containing nitrogen on kjeldahlising required \( 29 m l \) of \( N / 5 H_{2} S O_{4} \) for complete neutralisation of ammonia. The percentage of nitrogen in the compound is :
- 34.3
- 16.2
- 13.6
- 24.5
Correct answer: 16.2
Solution
In Kjeldahl analysis, the ammonia formed neutralizes the acid in a 1:1 equivalent ratio. From the acid used, you can calculate the amount of nitrogen present and then express it as a percentage of the sample mass.
