Ammonia produced when 0.75 g of a substance was kjeldahlised neutralised `30 cm^(3)` of 0.25 `NH_(2)SO_(4)`. Calculate the persentage of nitrogen in the compound.

Answer» Mass of the organic substance =0.75 g
Volume of `H_(2)SO_(4)` used up `=30 cm^(3)`
Normality of sulphuric acid `= 0.25 N`
`30 cm^(3)` of `H_(2)SO_(4)` of normality `0.25 N equiv 30 cm^(3)` of `NH_(3)` solution of normality 0.25 N
But `1000 cm^(3)` of ammonia solution of normality 1 contain 14 g of nitrogen.
`:.` Therefore, `30 cm^(3)` of 0.25 N ammonia solution will contain nitrogen `=14/1000xx30xx0.25`
`:.` Percentage of nitrogen `=("Mass of nitrogen")/("Mass of substance")xx100=14/1000xx(30xx0.25)/(0.75)xx100=14.00`.
