JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 8.3. Organic chemistry purification and characterization

In an estimation of bromine by Carius method,\(1.6\, g\) of an organic compound gave \(1.88 \,g\) of \(AgBr\). The mass percentage of bromine in the compound is.......... (Atomic mass, \(Ag =108, Br =80\, g\, mol ^{-1}\) )

  1. A \(50\)
  2. B \(55\)
  3. C \(45\)
  4. D \(40\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(50\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Carius method \(\%\) of \(Br =\frac{\text { wt of } AgBr }{\text { wt. of organic compound }} \times 100 \times \frac{\text { molar mass of Br }}{\text { AgBr }}\) \(=\frac{1.88}{1.6} \times \frac{80}{188} \times 100=\frac{15040}{300.8}=50 \%\)
