The organic compound
X is
C6H5NH2 (aniline). Here's a concise breakdown of the solution.
We're using the Kjeldahl method to find the nitrogen content of compound
X.
(A) Moles of acid reacted with ammonia
Total
H2SO4 added ;
0.060 L×0.1 M=0.006 mol.
NaOH used in back-titration :
0.020 I×0.1 M=0.002 mol.
Unreacted
H2SO4 (from
2 NaOH:1 H2SO4 ) :
20.002 mol=0.001 mol.
H2SO4 reacted with
NH3:0.006 mol 0.001 mol=0.005 mol.
(B) Mass of nitrogen in compound
XMoles of
NH3 (from
2 NH3 :
1 H2SO4 ) :
0.005 mol×2=0.010 mol.
Mass of nitrogen (
N=14.01 g/mol ) :
0.010 mol×14.01 g/mol=0.1401 g.
(C) Percentage of nitrogen in compound
X.
Sample mass
=0.933 g%N=(0.933 g0.1401 g)×100%≈15.01%.
(D) Compare with options
Aniline
(C6H5NH2) : Contains one N .
Molar mass
≈93 g/mol.%N=(9314)×100%≈15.05%.
Other options (benzylamine, n-propylamine, acetamide) have significantly different nitrogen percentages (approx.
13.08%,23.73%,23.73% respectively).
Since compound
X has approximately
15.01% nitrogen, it matches Aniline.
