PROBLEM: For breakfast, the nihilistic Rick Sanchez ate 100 g of cereal mixed with 20 g of milk. A 1.500 g sample of the same cereal was analyzed using the Kjeldahl method, and the liberated NH3 was distilled into 50 mL of a 0.0227 M HCl solution, and back-titrated with 2.85 mL of 0.0112 M NaOH solution.

PROBLEM: For breakfast, the nihilistic Rick Sanchez ate 100 g of cereal mixed with 20 g of milk. A 1.500 g sample of the same cereal was analyzed using the Kjeldahl method, and the liberated NH3 was distilled into 50 mL of a 0.0227 M HCl solution, and back-titrated with 2.85 mL of 0.0112 M NaOH solution. A 1.100 g sample of milk was also analyzed, and the liberated NH3 was distilled into 55 mL of a 0.0234 M HCl solution, and back-titrated with a 3.10 mL of 0.0121 M NaOH.

Use the values:

MM N=14.07 g/mol.

meat= 6.25

dairy= 6.38

cereal= 5.70

 

QUESTIONS:

1. What is the % protein in the cereal sample?

2.What is the % protein in the milk sample?

3. How many grams of protein did Rick consume over-all?
