  1. A.Nitrobenzene ()
  2. B.Pyridine (nitrogen in the aromatic ring)
  3. C.Aniline ()✓
  4. D.Azobenzene ()

Correct Answer

(C) Aniline ()

Solution & Explanation

\textbf{Answer:} (c) Aniline \textbf{Solution:} Kjeldahl's method works only when the nitrogen is quantitatively converted to ammonium sulphate on digestion with conc. . It fails for nitrogen present as (nitrobenzene), in azo groups (azobenzene), or in a ring (pyridine), because such nitrogen is not converted to ammonium sulphate. Aniline is converted to ammonium sulphate, so only aniline can be estimated by this method.
