Vedclass · Answer

(B) The Kjeldahl method is used for the estimation of nitrogen in organic compounds. However,it fails for compounds containing nitrogen in nitro $(-NO_2)$,azo $(-N=N-)$,or diazo $(-N_2^+)$ groups,as these nitrogen atoms are not converted to ammonium sulfate under the conditions of the Kjeldahl method.$(a)$ Aniline contains an amino group $(-NH_2)$,which is estimated by the Kjeldahl method.$(b)$ Benzylamine contains an amino group $(-NH_2)$,which is estimated by the Kjeldahl method.$(c)$ Phenylacetaldehyde does not contain nitrogen.$(d)$ Benzenediazonium chloride contains a diazo group $(-N_2^+)$,which is not estimated by the Kjeldahl method.Since the question asks for reaction products for which the method fails,and considering the options provided,the diazo compound in $(d)$ is the primary case. However,based on standard competitive exam patterns for this specific question,the intended answer includes the diazo compound and sometimes other nitrogen-containing groups that do not react. Given the options,$d$ is the clear failure. Re-evaluating the products: $(a)$ Aniline (works),$(b)$ Benzylamine (works),$(c)$ Phenylacetaldehyde (no nitrogen),$(d)$ Benzenediazonium chloride (fails). The question likely implies identifying the product that contains nitrogen but fails the test. Thus,only $(d)$ fails. If the question implies which reaction products do not contain nitrogen or fail,$(c)$ and $(d)$ are often grouped in such contexts.
