Q 11 :    

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]



(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.



Q 12 :    

0.5 g of an organic compound on combustion gave 1.46 g of CO2 and 0.9 g of H2O. The percentage of carbon in the compound is _____. (Nearest integer)

[Given: Molar mass (in g mol-1) C : 12, H : 1, O : 16]                    [2025]



(80)

Moles of carbon in organic compound (nC) = moles of carbon in CO2

=Moles of CO2=Mass of CO2Molar mass of CO2=1.4644mol

Mass of carbon in organic compound (WC)=nC×Molar mass of C=1.4644×12 g

Percentage of carbon in organic compound

=Mass of carbon in organic compoundMass of organic compound×100

=1.46×1244×0.5×100=79.63%80%



Q 13 :    

In Dumas’ method for estimation of nitrogen 1 g of an organic compound gave 150 mL of nitrogen collected at 300 K temperature and 900 mm Hg pressure. The percentage composition of nitrogen in the compound is _____ % (nearest integer).

(Aqueous tension at 300 K = 15 mm Hg)             [2025]



(20)

Pressure of nitrogen gas (PN2)=Total pressure of gas-aqueous tension
=(900-15)mmHg=885 mmHg=885760atm

Volume of nitrogen (VN2)=150 mL=0.15 L

By ideal gas equation, moles of nitrogen (nN2)=PN2VN2RT

=885760×0.150.0821×300=0.0071 mol

Mass of nitrogen (WN2)=nN2×Molar mass of N2

=0.0071×28 g=0.1988 g

Percentage of nitrogen in organic compound =Mass of nitrogen in organic compoundMass of organic compound×100

=0.19881×100=19.88%



Q 14 :    

In Dumas’ method 292 mg of an organic compound released 50 mL of nitrogen gas (N2) at 300 K temperature and 715 mm Hg pressure. The percentage composition of ‘N’ in the organic compound is _____ % (Nearest integer).

(Aqueous tension at 300 K = 15 mm Hg)                                [2025]



(18)

Pressure of nitrogen (PN2) = Total pressure – aqueous tension

=(715-15)mmHg=700760atm

Volume of nitrogen (VN2)=50 mL=0.05 L

Moles of nitrogen (nN2)=PN2VN2RT=700760×0.050.0821×300mol

Mass of nitrogen (WN2)=moles of nitrogen × molar mass of nitrogen

=700760×0.050.0821×300×28 g

Mass of organic compound (Wo.c.)=292 mg=0.292 g

Percentage of nitrogen in organic compound =WN2Wo.c.×100

=700760×0.05×280.0821×300×0.292×100=17.92%18%
