1. (10) The amount of protein in a sample of cheese can be determined by Kjeldahl analysis for nitrogen. 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 HCl. The excess HCl is then back-titrated with 0.1183 M NaOH, requiring 22.84 mL to reach the bromthymol blue end point. Report the % (w/w) protein in the cheese given that there is typically 6.38 g of protein for every gram of nitrogen in most dairy products.
