A 1.250 g sample of cheese was subjected to a Kjeldahl analysis to determine the amount of protein. The sample was digested, the nitrogen is oxidized to NH₄⁺, and was then converted to NH₃ with NaOH, and distilled into a collection flask containing 50.00 mL of 0.1050 M HCl. The excess HCl is back titrated with 0.1175 M NaOH, this required 21.65 mL to reach the bromothymol blue end point. What is the reaction for the back titration for this analysis? a. NH₄⁺ + NaOH ⇌ NH₃ + H₂O + Na⁺ b. NaOH + HCl ⇌ NaCl + H₂O c. NH₃ + HCl ⇌ NH₄⁺ + Cl⁻ d. N₂ + 3 H₂ ⇌ 2 NH₃ How many moles of N is present in the cheese sample? a. 544 x 10⁻³ b. 706 x 10⁻³ c. 250 x 10⁻³ d. 794 x 10⁻³
