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

In Carius method for estimation of halogens, \(0.2\, \mathrm{~g}\) of an organic compound gave \(0.188 \,\mathrm{~g}\) of \(\mathrm{AgBr}\). The percentage of bromine in the compound is ...... . (Nearest integer) [Atomic mass: \(\mathrm{Ag}=108, \mathrm{Br}=80\) ]

  1. A \(4\)
  2. B \(400\)
  3. C \(40\)
  4. D \(0.40\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(40\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{AgBr}}=\frac{0.188 \mathrm{~g}}{188 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol}}=10^{-3}\, \mathrm{~mol}\) \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{Br}}=\mathrm{n}_{\lambda_{\mathrm{kBt}}}=0.001\, \mathrm{~mol}\)…
