A 1.250 g sample of cheese was subjected to a Kjeldahl analysis to determine the amount of protein. The sample was digested, the nitrogen is oxidized to NH₄⁺, and was then converted to NH₃ with NaOH, and distilled into a collection flask containing 50.00 mL of 0.1050 M HCl. The excess HCl is back titrated with 0.1175 M NaOH, this required 21.65 mL to reach the bromothymol blue end point. Report the %N of the cheese sample.
