Explanation:
To determine the percentage of nitrogen using the Kjeldahl's method, we first need to find out how much ammonia (NH3) was produced and then calculate the equivalent amount of nitrogen in the sample.
The ammonia released reacts with sulfuric acid (H2SO4) in the following stoichiometry :
$ 2 \mathrm{NH}_3 + \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 \rightarrow (\mathrm{NH}_4)_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 $Each mole of H2SO4 reacts with 2 moles of NH3. Since 10 mL of 2 M sulfuric acid is neutralized by the ammonia, we can calculate the amount (in moles) of ammonia :
$ n(\mathrm{NH}_3) = 2 \times n(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4) $Now calculate the moles of H2SO4 used :
$ n(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4) = M \times V $
$ n(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4) = 2 \, \mathrm{M} \times 10 \, \mathrm{mL} \times \frac{1 \, \mathrm{L}}{1000\,\mathrm{mL}} $
$ n(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4) = 0.02 \, \mathrm{mol} $
Therefore, the number of moles of NH3 released will be twice that of the moles of H2SO4 neutralized :
$ n(\mathrm{NH}_3) = 2 \times 0.02 \, \mathrm{mol} $
$ n(\mathrm{NH}_3) = 0.04 \, \mathrm{mol} $
Next, we use the molar mass of nitrogen (14 g/mol) to find the mass of nitrogen :
$ m(N) = n(N) \times M(N) $
$ m(N) = 0.04 \, \mathrm{mol} \times 14 \, \mathrm{g/mol} $
$ m(N) = 0.56 \, \mathrm{g} $
To find the percentage of nitrogen in the compound, we take the mass of nitrogen divided by the mass of the original sample and multiply by 100% :
$ \mathrm{Percent \, nitrogen} = \left( \frac{m(N)}{m(\mathrm{sample})} \right) \times 100\% $
$ \mathrm{Percent \, nitrogen} = \left( \frac{0.56\, \mathrm{g}}{1\, \mathrm{g}} \right) \times 100\% $
$ \mathrm{Percent \, nitrogen} = 56\% $
The percentage of nitrogen in the compound is 56%.

$0.400 \mathrm{~g}$ of an organic compound $(\mathrm{X})$ gave $0.376 \mathrm{~g}$ of $\mathrm{AgBr}$ in Carius method for estimation of bromine. $\%$ of bromine in the compound $(\mathrm{X})$ is ___________.
(Given: Molar mass $\mathrm{AgBr=188~g~mol^{-1}}$
$\mathrm{Br}=80 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$)
Explanation:
1. Calculate the moles of AgBr formed:
Moles of AgBr = mass / molar mass = 0.376 g / 188 g/mol = 0.002 mol
Since 1 mol of AgBr contains 1 mol of Br, the moles of Br in the compound X are also 0.002 mol.
2. Calculate the mass of bromine in the compound:
Mass of Br = moles of Br × molar mass of Br = 0.002 mol × 80 g/mol = 0.16 g
3. Calculate the percentage of bromine in the compound X:
Percentage of Br = (mass of Br / mass of compound X) × 100 = (0.16 g / 0.400 g) × 100 = 40%
So, the percentage of bromine in the compound X is 40%.
$\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$ is titrated with ferrous ammonium sulphate hexahydrate in presence of dilute $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}$. Number of water molecules produced for 2 molecules of $\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}$ is ___________.
Explanation:
$ 10\left[\mathrm{FeSO}_4 \cdot\left(\mathrm{NH}_4\right)_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 \cdot 6 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right]+2 \mathrm{KMnO}_4+8 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 \rightarrow $
$5 \mathrm{Fe}_2\left(\mathrm{SO}_4\right)_3+2 \mathrm{MnSO}_4+10\left(\mathrm{NH}_4\right)_2 \mathrm{SO}_4+\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4+68 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
Now, we are asked to find the number of water molecules produced for 2 molecules of KMnO₄.
From the balanced equation, we can observe that 2 moles of KMnO₄ produce 68 moles of H₂O. Therefore, for 2 molecules of KMnO₄, the number of water molecules produced will be:
2 molecules × 34 water molecules per molecule of KMnO₄ = 68 water molecules
So, 68 water molecules are produced for 2 molecules of KMnO₄ in this titration.
The mass (in mg) of $\mathbf{S}$ obtained is ________.
[Use molar mass (in $\mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}$ ) : $\mathrm{H}=1, \mathrm{C}=12, \mathrm{~N}=14, \mathrm{Br}=80$ ]
Explanation:
First, calculate the moles of 4-methyloct-1-ene. The molar mass of 4-methyloct-1-ene is 126 g/mol. So, the moles of 4-methyloct-1-ene are :
$n_{4-\text{methyloct-1-ene}} = \frac{2.52 \, g}{126 \, g/mol} = 0.02 \, mol$
Given that the combined yield is 50%, the amount of isomeric bromides produced will be half of the initial amount, which is 0.01 mol.
The isomeric bromides are produced in a 9 : 1 ratio, so 90% of the product, or 0.009 mol, is the primary alkyl bromide. This is the compound that reacts further with diethylamine.
The reaction with diethylamine leads to the non-ionic product S with 100% yield, so we will still have 0.009 mol of product S.
Based on the chemical structures provided, the molar mass of S is 199 g/mol.
We can now calculate the mass of product S using the equation :
$ \text{Mass of S} = \text{moles of S} \times \text{molar mass of S} = 0.009 \, mol \times 199 \, g/mol = 1.791 \, g$
To convert this into milligrams, we multiply by 1000, yielding a mass of S obtained equal to 1791 mg.
In base vs. acid titration, at the end point methyl orange is present as

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
In bromination of Propyne, with Bromine, 1, 1, 2, 2-tetrabromopropane is obtained in 27% yield. The amount of 1, 1, 2, 2-tetrabromopropane obtained from 1 g of Bromine in this reaction is ___________ $\times$ 10$-$1 g. (Nearest integer)

Explanation:

2 moles $\mathrm{Br}_{2} \equiv 1$ mole 1,1,2,2-tetrabromopropane $\frac{1}{160}$ mole $\mathrm{Br}_{2}$
$\equiv \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{160}$ mole 1,1,2,2-tetrabromopropane
But yield of reaction is only $27 \%$
Moles of 1,1,2,2-tetrabromopropane
$ =\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{160} \times \frac{27}{100} $
Molar mass of 1,1,2,2-tetrabromopropane $=360 \mathrm{~g}$ Mass of 1,1,2,2-tetrabromopropane
$ \begin{aligned} &=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{160} \times \frac{27}{100} \times 360 \mathrm{~g} \\\\ &\approx 3 \times 10^{-1} \mathrm{~g} \end{aligned} $

Mass of $\mathrm{N}_{2}=0.02719 \,\mathrm{gm}$
Percentage of nitrogen
$ =\frac{0.0271}{0.125} \times 100=21.75 \simeq 22 $

Explanation:

Moles $=\frac{5}{92}$
Moles of benzaldehyde produced $=\frac{5}{92} \times 0.92=0.05$
$\therefore$ Mass of benzaldehyde formed
$=0.05 \times 106$
$=5.3 \mathrm{~g}$
$=530 \times 10^{-2}$
While estimating the nitrogen present in an organic compound by Kjeldahl's method, the ammonia evolved from $0.25 \mathrm{~g}$ of the compound neutralized $2.5 \mathrm{~mL}$ of $2 \,\mathrm{M} \,\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}$.

Explanation:
$\therefore$ Moles of $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ neutralized $=2.5 \times 2 \times 2$ millimole
$ =10 \times 10^{-3} \text { moles } $
$\therefore$ Weight of $\mathrm{N}$ present in the compound will be

An organic compound with 51.6% sulfur is heated in a Carius tube. The amount of this compound which will form 0.752 g of barium sulphate is ___________ $\times$ 10$-$1 g.

Explanation:
$0.752 \mathrm{~g}\, \mathrm{BaSO}_{4}$ contains $=\frac{32}{233} \times 0.752=0.1005 \mathrm{~g}$
Sulfur $\%=\frac{\text { Weight of Sulphur }}{\text { Weight of Compound }} \times 100$
$51.6=\frac{0.1005}{\text { Weight of compound }} \times 100$
$\Rightarrow$ Weight of compound $=\frac{0.1005}{51.6} \times 100=1.9 \times 10^{-1} \mathrm{~g}$
$ \approx 2 \times 10^{-1} \mathrm{~g} $

12. $5 \times 1 \times 2=25$ meq. of $\mathrm{NH}_3$ $=25$ millimoles of $\mathrm{NH}_3$
So Millimoles of ${ }^{\prime} \mathrm{N}^{\prime}=25$
Moles of $\mathrm{N}^{\prime}=25 \times 10^{-3}$

$ \begin{aligned} & \% \mathrm{~N}=\frac{14 \times 25 \times 10^{-3}}{0.55} \times 100 \\\\ & =63.66 \\\\ & \approx 64 \% \end{aligned} $
A 2.0 g sample containing MnO2 is treated with HCl liberating Cl2. The Cl2 gas is passed into a solution of KI and 60.0 mL of 0.1 M Na2S2O3 is required to titrate the liberated iodine. The percentage of MnO2 in the sample is _____________. (Nearest integer)
[Atomic masses (in u) Mn = 55; Cl = 35.5; O = 16, I = 127, Na = 23, K = 39, S = 32]
Explanation:
First Step :
MnO2 + 4HCl $\to$ MnCl2 + Cl2 + 2H2O
Here 1 mol of MnO2 produce 1 mol of Cl2
$\therefore$ Mole ratio of ${n_{Mn{O_2}}}:{n_{C{l_2}}} = 1:1$
Second Step :
Cl2 + 2KI $\to$ 2KCl + I2
Here, 1 mol of Cl2 produce 1 mol of I2
Mole ratio of ${n_{C{l_2}}}:{n_{{I_2}}} = 1:1$
Third Step :
I2 + 2Na2S2O3 $\to$ 2NaI + Na2S2O3
1 mol of I2 react with 2 mol of Na2S2O3
Mole ratio of ${n_{{I_2}}}:{n_{{N_2}{S_2}{O_3}}} = 1:2$
Given Na2S2O3 is 60 mL of 0.1 M
$\therefore$ Number of moles of Na2S2O3
= V (in L) $\times$ M (Molarity)
= ${{60} \over {1000}} \times 0.1$
= 0.006 mol
$\therefore$ Number of moles of I2
$ = {1 \over 2}(0.006)$
= 0.003
$\therefore$ Moles of MnO2 = 0.003 (as mole ratio of MnO2 and Cl2 = 1 : 1)
Molar mass of MnO2 = 55 + 32 = 87
$\therefore$ Mass of MnO2 = 0.003 $\times$ 87 = 0.261 gm
Given MnO2 = 2g
$\therefore$ % of MnO2 = ${{0.261} \over 2} \times 100 = 13\% $

(Relative atomic masses of Ag and Br are 108u and 80u, respectively).
Explanation:
$ \therefore 0.4 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{AgBr}=\frac{80}{188} \times 0.4 $
$\%$ of $\mathrm{Br}$ in given organic compound
$ \begin{aligned} &=\frac{80 \times 0.4}{188 \times 0.5} \times 100 \\\\ &\approx 34 \% \end{aligned} $
0.25 g of an organic compound containing chlorine gave 0.40 g of silver chloride in Carius estimation. The percentage of chlorine present in the compound is ___________. [in nearest integer]
(Given : Molar mass of Ag is 108 g mol$-$1 and that of Cl is 35.5 g mol$-$1)
Explanation:
Given, weight of organic compound = 0.25 g
Moles of AgCl = ${{0.4} \over M}$
Molecular mass of AgCl (M) = 143.5 gm
$\therefore$ Moles of AgCl = ${{0.4} \over 143.5}$
$\therefore$ Mass of Cl = ${{0.4} \over 143.5}$ $\times$ 35.5
Mass % of Cl in the organic compound
$ = {{{{35.5 \times 0.4} \over {143.5}}} \over {0.25}} \times 35.5$
$ = 39.58$
$ \simeq 40$
0.2 g of an organic compound was subjected to estimation of nitrogen by Dumas method in which volume of N2 evolved (at STP) was found to be 22.400 mL. The percentage of nitrogen in the compound is _________. [nearest integer]
(Given : Molar mass of N2 is 28 g mol$-$1. Molar volume of N2 at STP : 22.4 L)
Explanation:
Given volume of N2 = 22.400 mL
$\therefore$ Moles of N2 = ${{22.400} \over {22400}} = {10^{ - 3}}$ mole
$\therefore$ Moles of N atoms = 2 $\times$ 10$-$3 mole
$\therefore$ Weigh of N atoms = 14 $\times$ 2 $\times$ 10$-$3 mole
= 28 $\times$ 10$-$3 mole
$\therefore$ % of N atom in the compound
$ = {{28 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}} \over {0.2}} \times 100$
= 14

${{{n_{CuO}}\,reacted} \over {\left( {{{45} \over 2}} \right)}} = {{{n_{{C_7}{H_{17}}N}}\,reacted} \over 1}$
$\Rightarrow$ nCuO reacted = $\left( {{{45} \over 2}} \right) \times 0.5 = 11.25$
