Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
This problem is based on the estimation of percentage of N in organic compound using Kjeldahl's method. Use the concept of stoichiometry and follow the steps given below to solve the problem
(i) Write the balanced chemical reaction for the conversion of N present in organic compound to ammonia, ammonia to ammonia sulphate and ammonium sulphate to sodium sulphate.
(ii) Calculate millimoles (m moles ) of N present in organic compound followed by mass of N present in organic compound using the concept of stoichiometry
(iii) At last calculate % of N present in organic compound using formula
% of N= Mass of N X 100/ mass of organic compound.
Mass of organic compound =1.4 g
Let it contain x mmole of N atom.
Organic compound → NH3 (x mmole)
$ 2NH_{3}+H_{2}SO_{4}\rightarrow (NH_{4})_{2}SO_{4}$ ............(i)
6m mole initially taken
$H_{2}SO_{4}+2NaOH\rightarrow Na_{2}SO_{4}+2H_{2}O$ .............(ii)
2mmoles NaOH reacted.
Hence mmoles of $H_{2}SO_{4}$ reacted inEq.(ii)=1
$\Rightarrow$ mmoles of $H_{2}SO_{4}$ reacted in Eq.(i)=6-1=5 mmoles
$\Rightarrow$ mmoles of $NH_{3}$ in Eq.(i)= 2 x 5= 10.mmoles
$\Rightarrow$ mmoles of N atom in the organic compound=10mmoles
$\Rightarrow$ Mass of N= $10\times 10^{-3}\times14=0.14 g$
% of N= Mass of N present in organic compound/ Mass of organic compound x 100
$\Rightarrow$ % of N= $\frac{0.14}{1.4}\times100=10$%
