Question

Discuss kjeldahls method for the estimation of nitrogen

Answer 1

The Kjeldahl method is used to determine the nitrogen content in organic and inorganic samples. The procedure involves three major steps: Digestion: The sample is digested in boiling concentrated sulfuric acid, with the addition of a catalyst, until complete dissolution and oxidation.

Answer 2

Hey brainly user!

here is your answer

$\boxed{\sf\pink{Kjeldahl's\:method}}$

✔ In this method, the compound

heated with concentrated sulphuric acid in the presence of small amount of ${CuSo_4}$to convert nitrogen into Ammonium Sulphate

✔The contents of the flask are transferred to another flask and heated with excess of sodium hydroxide solution to liberate ammonia gas

✔ Ammonia gas so liberated is passed and absorbed known as the volume concentrated sulphuric acid

✔Organic compound +${H_2SO_4{\rightarrow}(NH_4)_2SO_4}$

${(NH_4)_2SO4+2NaOH{\rightarrow}Na_2SO_4+2H_2O+72NH_3}$

✔${2NH_3+H_2SO_4{\rightarrow}(NH_4)_2SO_4}$
