📐 Important Formulas for Quantitative Analysis

Percentage of Carbon:

%C = (12 × mass of CO2 × 100) / (44 × mass of compound)

Percentage of Hydrogen:

%H = (2 × mass of H2O × 100) / (18 × mass of compound)

Percentage of Nitrogen (Kjeldahl):

%N = (1.4 × Volume of acid × Normality) / Weight of compound

Rf Value:

Rf = Distance traveled by solute / Distance traveled by solvent front
