Can you use the kjeldahl method as acid hydrolysis?
Accepted Answer
The Kjeldahl method is a technique specifically designed for determining the nitrogen content in a sample, typically in organic compounds like proteins. While it involves acid hydrolysis as a step in the process, the primary goal is to convert nitrogen to ammonia for subsequent quantification. Therefore, it wouldn't be accurate to say you're 'using' the Kjeldahl method as acid hydrolysis; rather, acid hydrolysis is a crucial step within the Kjeldahl method.
