% of chlorine = (35.5/143.5)× (M a s s o f A g C l /M a s s o f s u b s t a n c e)× 100 = (35.5/143.5)× (0.287/0.099)× 100=71.71 % .

Q. Carius method is used for determination of halogen. If $0.099 g$ organic compound gave $0.287 g A g Cl$ . The percentage of chlorine in the compound will be

28.6

71.71

35.4

64.2

% of chlorine = $\frac{35.5}{143.5} \times \frac{M a ss o f A g Cl}{M a ss o f s u b s t an ce} \times 100$
= $\frac{35.5}{143.5} \times \frac{0.287}{0.099} \times 100 = 71.71%$ .
