Q. Carbon and hydrogen are estimated in organic compounds by

A) Kjeldalhl's method
B) Duma's method
C) Leibig's method
D) Carius method
Explanation

(c)
Carbon and hydrogen are estimated in organic compounds by Liebig's method
$C + 2CuO\overset{\mathrm{\Delta}}{\rightarrow}2Cu + CO_{2}$
$2H + CuO\overset{\mathrm{\Delta}}{\rightarrow}Cu + H_{2}O$
Percentage of carbon and hydrogen is calculated from the weight of $CO_{2}$ and $H_{2}$ produced
