Question
%N in sample can be obtained by converting all N containing compounds to NH3. The generated NH3 is then reacted with excess HCl and excess HCl is backtitrated with NaOH.
Why is back titration done for this analysis?
a.Titration with strong acid and strong base will produce sharper endpoint than titration with strong acid and weak base.
b.Nitrogen compounds will only react with excess acids.
c.Backtitration will be faster than doing direct titration.
d.NH3 is a weak base and large amount of titrant is needed to reach equivalence point.
