Vedclass · Answer

(B) The Kjeldahl's method is not applicable to compounds containing nitrogen in nitro $(-NO_2)$ or azo $(-N=N-)$ groups,or nitrogen present in a ring (like pyridine),because the nitrogen in these compounds is not quantitatively converted to ammonium sulphate under the conditions of the Kjeldahl's method.Among the given options:$A$. Nitrobenzene contains a nitro group.$B$. Aniline $(C_6H_5NH_2)$ contains an amino group,which is easily converted to ammonium sulphate.$C$. Azobenzene contains an azo group.$D$. Pyridine contains nitrogen in the ring.Therefore,the Kjeldahl's method can be used for Aniline.

Column $I$	Column $II$
$A$. Aniline	$i$. Red colour with $FeCl_3$
$B$. Benzene sulfonic acid	$ii$. Violet colour with sodium nitroprusside
$C$. Thiourea	$iii$. Blue colour with hot and acidic solution of $FeSO_4$
