Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(24\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Mass of substance \(=250 \mathrm{mg}=0.250 \mathrm{g}\) Mass of \(A g B r=141 \mathrm{mg}=0.141 \mathrm{g}\) \(1\; mole\) of \(A g B r=1\; g\) atom of \(B r\) \(188 g\) of \(A g B r=80 g\) of \(B r\) \(188 g\) of \(A g B r\) contain bromine \(=80 g\) \(0.141 g\) of \(A g B r\)…
