  3. C \(3.41 \%\)
  4. D \(4.6 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(34.1 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Percentage of bromine in the compound \[ \begin{aligned} &=\frac{80}{188} \times \frac{\text { Mass of } \mathrm{AgBr} \text { formed }}{\text { Mass of substance taken }} \times 100 \\ &=\frac{80}{188} \times \frac{0.12}{0.15} \times 100=34.04 \% \end{aligned} \]
