A 0.735 g sample of wheat flour was analyzed by the Kjeldahl method. The ammonia formed by addition of concentrated base after digestion with H2SO4 was distilled into 50 mL of 0.10 M HCl. The excess HCl was then back titrated with 22.3 mL of 0.15 M NaOH. Calculate the percent protein in the wheat flour sample (6.25 g of cereal protein for every g of N).
