Chemistry Question on Organic Chemistry- Some Basic Principles and Techniques

In Kjeldahl's method, ammonia from 5g5\, g of food neutralizes 30cm330 \,cm^3 of 0.1N0.1\, N acid. The percentage of nitrogen in the food is

A

8.4

B

0.84

C

1.68

D

16.8

Answer

0.84

Explanation

Solution

From Kjeldahl's method, percentage of nitrogen =1.4×N×Vw=1.4×0.1×305=\frac{1.4 \times N \times V}{w}=\frac{1.4 \times 0.1 \times 30}{5} =0.84%=0.84 \%
