In Kjeldahl's method, the gas evolved from 1.325 g sample of a fertiliser is passed into 50 ml of 0.2030 N H. S04. 25.32 ml of 0.1980 N NaOH are required for the titration of unused acid.
Which gas is liberated in Kjeldahl's method?
The method consists of heating a sample to 360–410 °C with concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4), which decomposes ("digests" or "destructs") the organic sample by oxidation to liberate the reduced nitrogen as ammonium sulfate.
What happens during the neutralization step of the Kjeldahl method?
This process converts any nitrogen in the sample to ammonium sulfate. The digestate is neutralized by the addition of NaOH, which converts the ammonium sulfate to ammonia, which is distilled off and collected in a receiving flask of excess boric acid, forming ammonium borate.
