Question

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 (A) 28.6 (B) 71.7 (C) 35.4 (D) 64.2

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

% of chlorine =(35.5/143.5) × ( text mass of AgCl / text mass of the compound ) × 100 =(35.5/143.5) × (0.287/0.099) × 100 =71.71

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

28.6

71.7

35.4

64.2

$%$ of chlorine $= \frac{35.5}{143.5} \times \frac{mass of A g Cl}{mass of the compound} \times 100$
$= \frac{35.5}{143.5} \times \frac{0.287}{0.099} \times 100$
$= 71.71$
