In Dumas method for the estimation ofN2, the sample is heated with copper oxide and the gas evolved is passed over:

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

In Dumas method, the nitrogen-containing organic compound, when heated with copper oxide in an atmosphere of carbon dioxide, yields free nitrogen in addition to carbon dioxide and water.

Traces of nitrogen oxides formed, if any, are reduced to nitrogen by passing the gaseous mixture over a heated copper gauze. The mixture of gases so produced is collected over an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide which absorbs carbon dioxide

So, the correct answer is Copper gauze.
