Question:medium

Kjeldahl's method cannot be used for the estimation of nitrogen in which compound?
 

(A)(B)(C)(D)
NH2-CH2-COOHC6H5-NH2C6H5-N=N-C6H5O2N-C6H4-NO2

Show Hint

Key Points:
Kjeldahl's method requires nitrogen to be convertible to ammonium sulfate Works only for nitrogen in $\mathrm{-3$ oxidation state Fails for $\mathrm{N=N$, $\mathrm{NO_2$, $\mathrm{CN$ groups Azobenzene (C) contains stable N=N bonds resistant to digestion
