    In Kjeldahl's method, nitrogen present in the organic compound is quantitatively converted into

    A)  ammonium nitrite

    B)  ammonium sulphate

    C)  ammonium phosphate

    D)  ammonium nitrate

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     In Kjeldahl's method of estimation of nitrogen, the nitrogen present in most of the organic compounds is quantitatively converted into ammonium sulphate. The \[{{(N{{H}_{4}})}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] so obtained is decomposed with excess of NaOH solution to give \[N{{H}_{3}}\], which is absorbed in an excess of standard HCl or \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] and residual mineral acid is then titrated with standard NaOH solution. Thus, option  is the correct choice.
