JEE Main 2022 · 29 Jun · Shift 1, Chemistry question 88

Kjeldahl's method was used for the estimation of nitrogen in an organic compound. The ammonia evolved from 0.55 g of the compound neutralised 12.5 mL of 1 M H2SO4\mathrm{H_2SO_4} solution. The percentage of nitrogen in the compound is ______. (Nearest integer)

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 64

Ammonia. 12.5×1×2=2512.5\times1\times2=25 mmol, i.e. 0.35 g of N.

Percentage. 0.350.55×100≈64\frac{0.35}{0.55}\times100\approx64.

Answer: 64
