Some Basic Principles Of Organic Chemistry Question 85
Question: In kjeldahl’s method, $ CuSO_4 $ acts as [AFMC 2001]
Options:
A) Oxidising agent
B) Reducing agent
C) Hydrolysing agent
D) Catalytic agent
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
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_2SO_4 $ .
In this method $ CuSO_4 $ acts as catalytic agent.
