In Carius method of estimation of halogen. \(0.45\,g\) of an organic compound gave \(0.36\,g\) of \(AgBr\). Find out the percentage of bromine in the compound.Molar masses : \(AgBr =188 g mol ^{-1}: Br =80 g mol ^{-1}\) )

  1. A \(34.04 \%\)
  2. B \(40.04 \%\)
  3. C \(36.03 \%\)
  4. D \(38.04 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(34.04 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mass of organic compound \(=0.45\,gm\) Mass of \(AgBr\) obtained \(=0.36\,gm\) \(\therefore\) Moles of \(AgBr =\frac{0.36}{188}\) \(\therefore\) Mass of Bromine \(=\frac{0.36}{188} \times 80=0.1532\,gm\) \(\therefore \% Br\) in compound…
