    Kjeldahl's method can be used for estimation of nitrogen in

    A) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{O}_{2}}\]

    B)  pyridine

    C) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}-N=N-{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}\]

    D) \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    In nitro and \[\text{azo}\] compounds or cyclic compounds (in which nitrogen is a part of ring), nitrogen is not completely converted into \[{{(N{{H}_{4}})}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] during digestion. Thus, Kjeldahl's method does not work for such compounds.
