A sample of 0.50 g of an organic compound was treated according to Kjeldahl’s method. The ammonia evolved was absorbed in 50 mL of 0.5 M . The residual acid required 60 mL of 0.5 M solution of NaOH for neutralisation. Find the percentage composition of nitrogen in the compound.
Solution:
Given : Mass of compound taken = 0.50 g; Vol. of = 50 mL Molarity of = 0.5 M; Vol. of NaOH required = 60 mL Molarity of NaOH required = 0.5 M Method adopted : Kjeldahl’s method Formula used : % of N = ... (i) M = 0.5 M (Molarity of ), V = 50 mL, = 60 mL m = 0.5 g (mass of compound) By substituting the values in the formula, we get, % of N = = 56 ∴ % of N in the given compound = 56%
