In the Kjeldahl’s method for estimation of nitrogen in soil, ammonia evolved from 0.75 g of sample neutralized 10 mL of 1M. The percentage of nitrogen in the soil is
To solve this problem, we will use the Kjeldahl's method for nitrogen estimation.In this method, nitrogen present in the sample is converted to ammonia (NH),which is then absorbed in a known volume of standard acid solution.Given:• Mass of the soil sample g• Volume of M used for neutralization mLThe reaction between ammonia and sulfuric acid is:NHHNHSOFrom the equation, 2 moles of NH react with 1 mole of HCalculate the moles of used:Moles of molesSince 1 mole of reacts with 2 moles of NHMoles of NHMoles of molesThe molar mass of nitrogen (N) is 14 g/mol.Mass of nitrogen in the sample Moles of NHMolar mass of N gCalculate the percentage of nitrogen in the soil:Percentage of nitrogen Therefore, the percentage of nitrogen in the soil is which corresponds to Option 1.
