Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Step 1: Evaluate Statement I

"Dumas method is used for estimation of Nitrogen in an organic compound."

✅ TRUE — Dumas' method is indeed used for the quantitative estimation of nitrogen in organic compounds. The organic compound is heated with CuO, and nitrogen is converted to  gas, which is collected and measured volumetrically.

Step 2: Evaluate Statement II

"Dumas method involves the formation of ammonium sulphate by heating the organic compound with conc H₂SO₄."

❌ FALSE — This description
