    Kjeldahls method can be used for estimation of nitrogen in

    A)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{O}_{2}}\]

    B)  pyridine

    C)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}-N=N-{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}\]

    D)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     In nitro and azo compounds or cyclic compounds (in which nitrogen is  part of ring) nitrogen is not completely converted ino \[{{\text{(N}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}\text{)}}_{\text{2}}}\text{S}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}\] during digestion. Thus, Kjeldahls method does not work for such compounds.
