The nitrogen and protein content of a 0.757 g sample of flour sample was analyzed using Kjeldahl analysis. After digestion, the liberated NH3 was distilled in a flask containing boric acid. Titration requires 12.45 mL of standard 0.100 M HCI to reach the desired endpoint. Calculate the weight percent of protein in the sample of flour considering that there is 14.76 g N per 100g protein.
