Q. In Carius method of estimation of halogens, $ 0.099\,g $ organic compound gave $ 0.287\,g \,\,AgCl $ . The percentage of chlorine in the compound will be

Haryana PMTHaryana PMT 2010

Solution:

$\%$ of chlorine $=\frac{35.5}{143.5} \times \frac{\text { mass of } AgCl }{\text { mass of the compound }} \times 100$
$=\frac{35.5}{143.5} \times \frac{0.287}{0.099} \times 100$
$=71.71$
