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

When \(0.15\, \mathrm{~g}\) of an organic compound was analyzed using Carius method for estimation of bromine, \(0.2397 \,\mathrm{~g}\) of \(AgBr\) was obtained. The percentage of bromine in the organic compound is \(.....\) (Nearest integer) [Atomic mass : Silver \(=108\), Bromine \(=80]\)

  1. A \(96\)
  2. B \(12\)
  3. C \(85\)
  4. D \(68\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(68\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Moles of \(\mathrm{Br}=\) Moles of \(\mathrm{AgBr}\) obtained \(\Rightarrow \quad\) Mass of \(\mathrm{Br}=\frac{0.2397}{188} \times 80\, \mathrm{~g}\) therefore \(\%\) Br in the organic compound \(=\frac{W_{\text {Br }}}{W_{T}} \times 100\)…
