In Dumas method for estimation of nitrogen, 0.50 g of an organic compound gave 70 mL of nitrogen collected at 300 K and 715 mm pressure. The percentage of nitrogen in the organic compound is \%.
(Aqueous tension at 300 K is 15 mm).
(Aqueous tension at 300 K is 15 mm).
Correct answer
15
Step-by-step solution
Given data:
Mass of organic compound () = g
Volume of nitrogen gas () = mL
Temperature () = K
Total pressure = mm Hg
Aqueous tension = mm Hg
Pressure of dry nitrogen () = mm Hg
Convert the volume of nitrogen to STP conditions ( mm Hg, K):
Using the combined gas law:
mL
At STP, mL of weighs g.
Mass of collected = g
Percentage of nitrogen =
Rounding to the nearest integer, we get .
