29.5 mg of an organic compound containing nitrogen was digested according to Kjeldahl's method and the evolved ammonia was absorbed in 20 mL of 0.1 M HCl solution. The exess of the acid required 15 mL of 0.1 M NaOH solution for complete neutralization. The percentage of nitrogen in the compound is

Answer»

29.5
`59.0`
47.4
23.7

Solution :Weight of substance TAKEN `= 29.5 xx 10^(-3) g`
Volume of ACID taken 20 mL of 0.1 N HCl
`:.` Volume of acid used = 20 - 15 = 5 mL of 0.1 N HCl
`%N= (1.4 xx "Volume" xx "Normality")/("Weight of substance taken") = (1.4 xx 5 xx 0.1)/(29.5 xx 10^(-3))`
`= 23.73`
