\(0.25\, g\) of an organic compound containing chlorine gave \(0.40\, g\) of silver chloride in Carius estimation. The percentage of chlorine present in the compound is \(.....\) [in nearest integer] (Given: Molar mass of \(Ag\) is \(108\, g \,mol ^{-1}\) and that of \(Cl\) is \(35.5 \,g\, mol ^{-1}\) )

  1. A \(40\)
  2. B \(140\)
  3. C \(80\)
  4. D \(143\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(40\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

wt. of organic compound \(=0.25 \,g\) mass of \(Cl =\frac{35.5}{143.5} \times 0.4\, g\) mass \(\%\) of \(Cl\) in the organic compound \(=\frac{35.5 \times 0.4}{143.5 \times 0.25} \times 100\) \(=39.58 \,\%\)
