    During estimation of nitrogen present in an organic compound by Kjeldahls method, the ammonia evolved from 0.5 g of the compound in Kjeldals estimation of nitrogen, neutralized 10 mL of 1 M\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]. Find out the percentage of nitrogen in the compound.

    Answer:

    Volume of \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] used = 10 mL of \[1M\,\,{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] Now,\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}+2N{{H}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{(N{{H}_{4}})}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] So, 1 mole of \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] reacts with 2 moles of \[N{{H}_{3}}\] i.e., 10 mL of 1 M,\[S{{O}_{2}}\] = 20 mL of 1 M\[N{{H}_{3}}\] Now, 1000 mL of 1 M\[N{{H}_{3}}\] contains\[N=14g\] So, 20 mL of 1 M \[N{{H}_{3}}\] contains \[N=\frac{14\times 20}{100}\] Percentage of nitrogen is = \[\frac{1.4\times N\times V}{W}\] \[=\frac{14\times 20\times 100}{100\times 0.5}=56%\]
