Organic Chemistry Some Basic Principles and Techniques - Result Question 46

####52. In the Kjeldahl’s method for estimation of nitrogen present in a soil sample, ammonia evolved from 0.75g of sample neutralized 10mL of 1MH2SO4. The percentage of nitrogen in the soil is :

(a) 37.33

(b) 45.33

(c) 35.33

(d) 43.33

Show Answer

Solution:

(a) 10mL,1MH2SO4=20mL,1MNH3

wt of N in one mole NH3=14

20×103molNH3

20×103×14 nitrogen 

0.75g of sample contains

=14×20×1030.75×100=37.33
