While estimating the nitrogen present in an organic compound by Kjeldahl's method, the ammonia evolved from 0.25 g of the compound neutralized 2.5 mL of 2MH2SO4. The percentage of nitrogen present in organic compound is ______________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

NH3 gas is neutralized by 2.5 mL of 2MH2SO4

∴ Moles of NH3 neutralized =2.5×2×2 millimole

=10×10−3 moles 

∴ Weight of N present in the compound will be

=10×10−3×14=0.14 g

∴% of ' N ' in compound

=0.140.25×100=56%
