Q.

During estimation of nitrogen by Dumas’ method of compound X (0.42 g):

_____ mL of N2 gas will be liberated at STP. (nearest integer)

(Given molar mass in g mol-1: C : 12, H : 1, N : 14)                                     [2025]


Ans.

(111)

Molar mass of the compound (C4N2H10)=4×12+2×14+10×1=86g mol-1

Moles of compound=Mass of compoundMolar mass of compound=0.4286 mol

Moles of N in compound=2×Moles of compound=2×0.4286 mol

As all the N of organic compound is converted to N2 gas in Duma’s method.

Moles of N2=Moles of N2
                     =0.4286mol

Volume of N2 at STP =Moles of N2×22.7 L=0.4286×22.7 L

=0.11086 L=110.8 mL111 mL.
