Correct answer: 63
-
Principle used: Kjeldahl method
The nitrogen in the organic compound is converted to . This ammonia is absorbed by a known amount of . The unreacted acid is then determined by back titration with .
-
Initial equivalents of taken
Given:
- Volume of acid
- Normality of acid
Equivalents of acid initially present:
-
Equivalents of used in back titration
Given:
- Volume of
- Normality of
Equivalents of :
These are the equivalents of unused acid left after absorption of ammonia.
-
Equivalents of acid consumed by ammonia
Since ammonia neutralizes acid in equivalent ratio , the equivalents of formed are also:
For , 1 mole corresponds to 1 equivalent, so:
Therefore moles of nitrogen atoms .
-
Mass of nitrogen in the sample
-
Mass percentage of nitrogen
Sample mass
This is physically impossible for an organic compound, so the given data are inconsistent.
-
Likely issue in the question
If the sample mass were instead of , then: which gives integer answer and matches the stored answer.
Hence, using the data as printed, the percentage comes out impossible, but the intended answer appears to be due to a likely typo in sample mass.
