Chemistry · Quantitative analysis (basic principles only): Estimation of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, halogens, sulphur and phosphorus

Carbon and hydrogen are estimated in organic compounds by:

Carbon and hydrogen are estimated in organic compounds by:

  • A. Kjeldahl's method
  • B. Duma's method
  • C. Liebig's method
  • D. Carius method

Step-by-step solution

Liebig's method is a combustion method used to estimate carbon and hydrogen in organic compounds by burning the sample and measuring the CO2 and H2O produced. Other methods: Kjeldahl's and Duma's are for nitrogen; Carius method is for halogens, sulphur, and phosphorus.
