In Duma's method for estimation of nitrogen, 0.25 g of an organic compound gave 40 mL of nitrogen collected at 300 K temperature and 725 mm pressure. If the aqueous tension at 300 K is 25 mm, the percentage of nitrogen in the compound is :
16.76
15.76
17.36
18.20
As we discussed in
Dumas method- Quantitative analyse of nitrogen -
- wherein
m = mass of organic compound
P1 = 725 - 25 = 700 mm
v1 = 40 ml
m = 0.25 g
T1 = 300
Option 1)
16.76
This option is correct
Option 2)
15.76
This option is incorrect
Option 3)
17.36
This option is incorrect
Option 4)
18.20
This option is incorrect
