Organic Chemistry Some Basic Principles and Techniques - Result Question 45

####51. In Duma’s method for estimation of nitrogen, 0.25g of an organic compound gave 40mL of nitrogen collected at 300K temperature and 725 mm pressure. If the aqueous tension at 300K is 25mm, the percentage of nitrogen in the compound is :

[2015]

(a) 18.20

(b) 16.76

(c) 15.76

(d) 17.36

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (b) Wt. of organic substance =0.25g

V1=40mL,T1=300K

P1=72525=700mm of Hg

P2=760mm of Hg (at STP)

T2=273K

P1V1T1=P2V2T2

V2 (Volume of nitrogen at STP)

=273×700×40300×760=33.52mL

Percentage of nitrogen

=28× volume of N2 at STP ×10022400× wt. of organic substance =28×33.52×10022400×0.25=16.76
