JEE Main 2004 — Some Basic Concepts Of Chemistry Question with Solution
From: AIEEE 2004
Question
The ammonia evolved from the treatment of 0.30 g of an organic compound for the estimation of nitrogen was passed in 100 mL of 0.1 M sulphuric acid. The excess of acid required 20 mL of 0.5 M sodium hydroxide solution for complete neutralization. The organic compound is

Correct answer
Aurea
Step-by-step explanation
Initially total H2SO4 present = 100 mL of 0.1 M = mole = 0.01 mole
2NaOH + H2SO4 Na2SO4 + 2H2O
Let in this reaction H2SO4 required n mole
=
= 0.005 mole
So now remaining H2SO4 = 0.01 - 0.005 = 0.005 mole . Those remaining H2SO4 will react with NH3.
2NH3 + H2SO4 (NH4)2SO4
Let no moles of NH3 produce through this reaction is =
=
= 0.01
In NH3 no of N atom is 1 and H atom is 3. So no of moles of N atom in NH3 = 0.011 = 0.01 mole
This 0.01 mole or 0.0114 gm N is produced from 0.3 gm unknown organic compound.
% of N in unknown compound is
=
= 46.6
% of N in urea [(NH4)2CO] = = 46.6 %
[ Mol weight of urea = 60]
% of N in benzamide [C6H5CONH2] = = 11.5 %
[ Mol weight of benzamide [C6H5CONH2] = 121]
% of N in acetamide [CH3CONH2] = = 23.4 %
[ Mol weight of acetamide [CH3CONH2] = 59]
% of N in thiourea [NH2CONH2] = = 36.8 %
[ Mol weight of thiourea [NH2CSNH2] = 76]
compound is urea.
