In Kjeldahl's method for estimation of nitrogen, acts as :
  1. (A)Reducing agent
  2. (B)Catalytic agent✓ Correct
  3. (C)Hydrolysis agent
  4. (D)Oxidising agent

Answer: (B)

Solution

In Kjeldahl's method for nitrogen estimation, the organic sample is digested with concentrated HSO in the presence of CuSO, which acts as a catalyst to speed up the oxidation/digestion, converting organic nitrogen to ammonium sulfate.
