In Kjeldahl's method, 0.4422 g of an organic compound was digested with conc. H_(2)SO_(4). The ammonia evolved on distilling the resulting solution with excess of NaOH solution was absorbed in 50 mL of 1 N H_(2)SO_(4) solution. The residual acid required 65.5 mL of N//2 alkali solution for complete neutralisation. Find the percentage of nitrogen in the given organic compound.

Answer»

Solution :Calculation of the volume of UNUSED acid.
volume of `NaOH` solution =65.5 mL
Normality of `NaOH` solution `=1//2 N`
Normality of `H_(2)SO_(4)` solution `= 1 N`
Volume of the acid can be calculated by applying normality equation,
`ubrace(N_(1)V_(1))_("Acid")= ubrace(N_(2)V_(2))_("Base")`
`(1N)xxV_(1)=(1//2N)xx(65.5 mL), V_(1)=((1//2N)xx(65.5 mL))/((1N))=32.75 mL`
STEP II. Calculation of the volume of acid used
volume of `H_(2)SO_(4)` added =50 mL
Volume of `H_(2)SO_(4)` left unused =32.75 mL
`:.` Volume of `H_(2)SO_(4)` used `= (50-32.75)=17.25 mL`
Step III. Calculation of the percentage of nitogen
Mass of COMPOUND =0.4422 G
Volume of `H_(2)SO_(4)` used =17.25 mL
Normality of `H_(2)SO_(4)` used = 1 N
Percentage of `N=(1.4 xx" Volume of acid used"xx"Normality of acid used")/("Mass of the compound")`
`=(1.4xx17.25xx1)/0.4422=54.61 %`

In Kjeldahl's estimation of nitrogen, the ammonia evolved from 0.5g of an organic compound neutralised 10ml of 1M H_(2)SO_(4). Calculate the percentage of nitrogen in the compound

Answer»

Solution :N of compound is converted into `NH_(3)` and is estimated by TITRATION.
1M of 10mL`H_(2)SO_(4)` = 1M of 2mL `NH_(3)` , 1000 mL of 1M ammonia contains 14g nitrogen
20mL of 1 M ammonia contains `(14 xx 20)/(1000)g N_(2)` , Precentage of nitrogen = `(14 xx 20 xx 100)/(1000 xx 0.5) = 56.0`
22.

In Kjeldahl method of 0.35g of organic compound the produce ammonia absorb in 100ml, 0.1 M, H_(2)SO_(4). Then 154mL, 0.1M, NaOH is used in titration of excess H_(2)SO_(4). Calculate the % of nitrogen

ANSWER :0.184
23.

In Kjedhal's estimation of nitrogen, the ammonia obtained from 0.5of an organic subsatce was passed into 100cm^(3) of (M)/(10)H_(2)SO_(4). The excess of acid required 154cm^(3) of (M)/(10) NaOH for neutralisation. Calculate the percentage of nitrogen in the compound.

Answer»

Solution :Massof the organic compound = 0.5 , Volume of STANDARD `H_(2)SO_(4)` TAKEN = `100cm^(3)` of `(M)/(10)` solution
Let volume fo unused `H_(2)SO_(4) = V_(1)`
Volume of NaOH requried for excess acid = `154cm^(3)` of `(M)/(10)` solution
Volume of `(M)/(10)H_(2)SO_(4)` solution unused `(V_(1)) = (154)/(2)=77CM^(3)`
Volume of `(M)/(10)H_(2)SO_(4)` used by `NH_(3) = 23CM^(3)` , Millimoles of `H_(2)SO_(4)` used by `NH_(3) = (23)/(10) = 2.3`
Millimoles of `NH_(3) = 2 xx "Millimoles of" H_(2)SO_(4)=2xx2.3 = 4.6`
perecntage of NITROGEN = `(14 xx 4.6 xx 100)/(1000 xx 0.5) = 12.88`

In hydrogen atom, energy of the first excited state is -3.4 eV. Calculate the kinetic energy of the same orbit of hydrogen atom

Answer»

Solution :Total energy of the electron in n =2 (1st excited state) `= -3.4 eV`
`E_("total") = K.E. + P.E. = (1)/(2) m v^(2) + ((-Ze^(2))/(R))`
