Following Kjeldahl's method, 1 g of organic compound released ammonia, that neutralised 10 mL of 2MH2SO4. The percentage of nitrogen in the compound is _______ %.

Solution

H2SO4+2NH3NH42SO4

Equivalent of NH3=Equivalent of H2SO4

moles of NH3nNH3×1=2×10×21000

                                            =4×10-2 moles

Moles of nitrogen=4×10-2 moles

Weight of Nitrogen=4×10-2×14=56×10-2 gm

Percent of nitrogen=56×10-2weight of the compound×100=56×10-21×100=56%
