Ammonia Titration in Protein Analysis

A wheat flour sample was analyzed using the Kjeldahl procedure. Ammonia formed was distilled into acid and back-titrated, requiring 7.73 mL of base. This allows calculating the percentage of protein in the flour. A drug sample used to treat alcoholism contains tetraethylthiuram disulfide as the active ingredient. Sulfur in a sample was oxidized and titrated, requiring 19.25 mL of base. This allows calculating the percentage of the active ingredient in the drug preparation.

A 0.9325-g sample of a wheat flour was analyzed by the Kjeldahl procedure.

The
ammonia formed was distilled into 50.00 mL of 0.05063 M HCl; a 7.73-mL back-
titration with 0.04829 M NaOH was required. Calculate the percentage of protein in
the flour.
The active ingredient in Antabuse, a drug used for the treatment of chronic alcoholism,
is tetraethylthiuram disulfide (TETD),

(296.54 g/mol). The sulfur in a 0.4169-g sample of an Antabuse preparation was


oxidized to SO2, which was absorbed in H2O2 to give H2SO4. The acid was titrated
with 19.25 mL of 0.04216 M base. Calculate the percentage of active ingredient in the
preparation.
