Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
The ammonia from of a compound is passed into of sulphuric acid. The acid left over needs of sodium hydroxide to neutralise it. Find the amount of that the ammonia used, and the per cent of nitrogen.
and . Dumas: , with at STP in mL. Kjeldahl: . Carius: . Empirical formula: divide each per cent by the atomic mass, then by the smallest.
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. Total . .
Step 2. Left over. The alkali neutralised .
Step 3. Used by the ammonia. , which is of and of nitrogen.
Step 4. Per cent. , so .
Answer: of , and nitrogen.
