MCQ
In an estimation of bromine by Carius method,$1.6\, g$ of an organic compound gave $1.88 \,g$ of $AgBr$. The mass percentage of bromine in the compound is..........

(Atomic mass, $Ag =108, Br =80\, g\, mol ^{-1}$ )

  • $50$
  • B
    $55$
  • C
    $45$
  • D
    $40$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$50$
a
Carius method

$\%$ of $Br =\frac{\text { wt of } AgBr }{\text { wt. of organic compound }} \times 100 \times \frac{\text { molar mass of Br }}{\text { AgBr }}$

$=\frac{1.88}{1.6} \times \frac{80}{188} \times 100=\frac{15040}{300.8}=50 \%$
