Correct Answer: 56
Solution and Explanation
NH3 gas is neutralized by 2⋅5mL of 2M H2SO4
∴ Moles of NH3 neutralized = \(2⋅5 × 2 × 2\) millimole
= \(10×10^{–3}\) moles
∴ Weight of N present in compound will be
= \(10 × 10^{–3}\times14\)
= 0⋅14g
% of ‘N’ in compound
=\(\frac{0.14}{0.25}\)×100=56%

- Given below are two statements:
Statement I: In the oxalic acid vs KMnO$_4$ (in the presence of dil H$_2$SO$_4$) titration the solution needs to be heated initially to 60°C, but no heating is required in Ferrous ammonium sulphate (FAS) vs KMnO$_4$ titration (in the presence of dil H$_2$SO$_4$).
Statement II: In oxalic acid vs KMnO$_4$ titration, the initial formation of MnSO$_4$ takes place at high temperature, which then acts as catalyst for further reaction. In the case of FAS vs KMnO$_4$, heating oxidizes Fe$^{2+}$ into Fe$^{3+}$ by oxygen of air and error may be introduced in the experiment.

Nitrogen
- Nitrogen is the 7th element of the periodic table between carbon and oxygen.
- It’s a crucial part of amino acids.
- Around 80% of the Earth’s atmosphere comprises nitrogen gas.
- It is odorless and colorless in nature, mostly diatomic non-metal gas.
- Since it has 5 electrons in its outermost shell, most of its compounds are trivalent.
- It is a combination of all living tissues. Since it is a component of DNA and part of a genetic code, it is a necessary element of life.
- It is found in nitrates and further nitrites in soil and water.
- The nitrogen cycle comprises all these substances and is interconnected. Industrial companies emit nitrogen enormously, increasing nitrite and nitrate content in the ground and water, being the repercussion of reactions in the nitrogen cycle.
