Question

0.7g of an organic compound was Kjeldahlised and ammonia evolved was absorbed in 50ml of semi-molar (0.5M) H₂SO₄. The residual acid required 80ml of 0.5M NaOH. Determine the percentage of nitrogen in the compound.
a.) 80
b.) 40
c.) 20
d.) 10

Solution

In these kinds of problems start from the ending. Here equivalents present in NaOH = 80* 0.5 = 40 m.eqns hence the total equivalents ofH₂ SO₄used form NaOH = 40 m.eqns total equivalents ofH₂ SO₄. = 500.52....(here 2 for giving two hydrogens per molecule, it is also called n-factor) = 50 m.eqns hence the number of equivalents ammonia = 50 - 40 = 10 m.eqns. 1 equivalent contains 1 nitrogen molecule, hence total weight of nitrogen = 10* 10^-3 * 14 = 0.14 grams hence percentage of nitrogen = 0.14/0.7 *100 = 20 %
