Question
A 500.0-mg sample of waste ground coffee beans used as fertilizer was
digested and analyzed for nitrogen using the Kjeldahl method. After
digestion, the distilled ammonia was collected in 100 mL of 0.5500 M
boric acid. This solution required 19.60 mL of 0.5880 M HCI for titration
to the methyl red end point. Calculate the %N in the fertilizer.
