During estimation ofnitrogen in the organic compound by Kjeldahl's method, the ammonia evolved from 0.5 g of the compound in Kjeldahl's estimation of nitrogen, neutralised 10 mL of 1M H₂SO_4^. Find out the percentage of nitrogen in the compound.

• 14%

On addition of conc. H₂SO₄ to a chloride salt, colourless fumes are evolved but in case of iodide salt, violet fumes come out. This is because

• H₂SO₄ reduces HI to I₂

• HI is of violet colour

• HI gets oxidised to I₂

• HI changes to HIO₃

• HF

• HCl

• HBr

• HI
