Sodium fusion extract of an organic compound \(( Y )\) with \(CHCl _3\) and chlorine water gives violet color to the \(CHCl _3\) layer. 0.15 g of \(( Y )\) gave 0.12 g of the silver halide precipitate in Carius method. Percentage of halogen in the compound \(( Y )\) is _______. (Nearest integer).
(Given : molar mass \(g ~ mol ^{-1} C : 12, H : 1, Cl : 35.5\), \(\operatorname{Br}: 80, I : 127\) )

  1. A 40
  2. B 43
  3. C 45
  4. D 48
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 43

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Iodine gives violet colour \(\%\) of \(I =\frac{\text { Atomic weight of } I }{\text { Molecular weight of } AgI } \times \frac{ m }{ W } \times 100\) \(=\frac{127}{235} \times \frac{0.12}{0.15} \times 100\) \(\%\) of \(I =43.23 \% \approx 43 \%\)
