Correct answer: 56

  1. Reaction involved in Kjeldahl's method

    The ammonia evolved neutralizes sulfuric acid: 2 NH3+H2SO4→(NH4)2SO42\,\mathrm{NH_3} + \mathrm{H_2SO_4} \rightarrow (\mathrm{NH_4})_2\mathrm{SO_4}2NH3​+H2​SO4​→(NH4​)2​SO4​

    So, 1 mole of H2SO4\mathrm{H_2SO_4}H2​SO4​ neutralizes 2 moles of NH3\mathrm{NH_3}NH3​.

  2. Moles of H2SO4\mathrm{H_2SO_4}H2​SO4​ used

    Given:

    • Volume of acid =2.5 mL=2.5×10−3 L= 2.5\,\mathrm{mL} = 2.5 \times 10^{-3}\,\mathrm{L}=2.5mL=2.5×10−3L
    • Molarity =2 M= 2\,\mathrm{M}=2M

    moles of H2SO4=M×V=2×2.5×10−3=5.0×10−3 mol\text{moles of } \mathrm{H_2SO_4} = M \times V = 2 \times 2.5\times 10^{-3} = 5.0\times 10^{-3}\,\mathrm{mol}moles of H2​SO4​=M×V=2×2.5×10−3=5.0×10−3mol

  3. Moles of NH3\mathrm{NH_3}NH3​ formed

    From stoichiometry: 1 mol H2SO4≡2 mol NH31\,\mathrm{mol\ H_2SO_4} \equiv 2\,\mathrm{mol\ NH_3}1mol H2​SO4​≡2mol NH3​

    Therefore, moles of NH3=2×5.0×10−3=1.0×10−2 mol\text{moles of } \mathrm{NH_3} = 2 \times 5.0\times 10^{-3} = 1.0\times 10^{-2}\,\mathrm{mol}moles of NH3​=2×5.0×10−3=1.0×10−2mol

  4. Moles and mass of nitrogen

    Each mole of NH3\mathrm{NH_3}NH3​ contains 1 mole of nitrogen.

    moles of N=1.0×10−2 mol\text{moles of N} = 1.0\times 10^{-2}\,\mathrm{mol}moles of N=1.0×10−2mol

    mass of N=1.0×10−2×14=0.14 g\text{mass of N} = 1.0\times 10^{-2} \times 14 = 0.14\,\mathrm{g}mass of N=1.0×10−2×14=0.14g

  5. Percentage of nitrogen in the compound

    Mass of organic compound =0.25 g= 0.25\,\mathrm{g}=0.25g

    % N=0.140.25×100=56\%\,\mathrm{N} = \frac{0.14}{0.25} \times 100 = 56%N=0.250.14​×100=56

  6. Final answer

    56\boxed{56}56​

The derived answer matches the stored correct answer.
