The protein content of wheat flour can be determined reasonably accurately by multiplying the percentage of nitrogen present by 5.7. A 2.06-g sample of flour was taken through a Kjeldahl procedure and the ammonia produced was distilled into a boric acid solution. If this solution required 34.7 mL of o.174 M HCI for titration to the methyl red end point, what is the percentage of protein in the flour?

The amount of protein in a sample of cheese was determined by a Kjeldahl analysis. After digesting a 0.9814-g sample of cheese, the nitrogen is oxidized to NH4+, converted to NH3 with NaOH, and distilled into a collection flask containing 50.00 mL of 0.1047 M HCI. The excess HCI is then back titrated with 0.1183 M NaOH, requiring 22.84 mL to reach the bromothymol blue end point. Report the %w/w protein in the cheese.
