Statement (I) : Kjeldahl method is applicable to estimate nitrogen in pyridine.Statement (II) : The nitrogen present in pyridine can easily be converted into ammonium sulphate in Kjeldahl method.In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given belowJEE Main 2024 (08 Apr Shift 2)ABoth Statement I and Statement II are trueBBoth Statement I and Statement II are falseCStatement I is false but Statement II is trueDStatement I is true but Statement II is false

The Kjeldahl method is a method used to estimate the amount of nitrogen in organic compounds. However, this method is not applicable to all nitrogenous organic compounds. It is not applicable to compounds like pyridine where nitrogen is a part of a ring structure or is in the form of nitro, azo, or nitrile groups.

In the Kjeldahl method, the organic compound is digested with concentrated sulphuric acid which leads to the conversion of nitrogen into ammonium sulphate. But in the case of pyridine, the nitrogen present cannot be easily converted into ammonium sulphate.

So, Statement I is false and Statement II is also false. Therefore, the correct answer is B. Both Statement I and Statement II are false.
