\(0.400\,g\) of an organic compound \(( X )\) gave \(0.376\,g\) of \(AgBr\) in Carius method for estimation of bromine. \(\%\) of bromine in the compound \(( X )\) is \(.........\).(Given: Molar mass \(AgBr =188\,g\,mol ^{-1} Br =80\,g\) \(\left.mol ^{- I }\right)\)

  1. A \(20\)
  2. B \(30\)
  3. C \(50\)
  4. D \(40\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(40\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

mole of \(AgBr =\frac{0.376}{188}\) mole of \(Br ^{-}=\)mole of \(AgBr =\frac{0.376}{188}\) mass of \(Br ^{-}=\frac{0.376}{188} \times 80\) \(\%\) of \(Br ^{-}=\frac{0.376 \times 80}{188 \times 0.4} \times 100=40 \%\)
