In the estimation of bromine, \(0.5\, g\) of an organic compound gave \(0.40\, g\) of silver bromide. The percentage of bromine in the given compound is \(.....\,\%\) (nearest integer) (Relative atomic masses of \(Ag\) and \(Br\) are \(108\, u\) and \(80\, u\), respectively).

  1. A \(340\)
  2. B \(90\)
  3. C \(188\)
  4. D \(34\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(34\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(O . C \longrightarrow AgBr\) \(0.5\, g \quad 0.4\, g\) \(mol\) of \(Br = mol\) of \(AgBr =\frac{0.4}{188}\) \(\%\, Br =\%\, Br =\frac{\frac{0.4}{188} \times 80}{0.5} \times 100\) \(=34.04\, \%\)
