Practical Organic Chemistry question

2020 · 6 Sep · Shift 1 · Q4

JEE MainChemistryPractical Organic ChemistryNumerical+4 / −1
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 ‾\underline{\hspace{2cm}}​. (Atomic mass, Ag = 108, Br = 80 g mol–1)

Correct answer: 50

  1. Use the precipitate to find mass of bromine

    In Carius method, bromine in the organic compound is converted to silver bromide, AgBr\mathrm{AgBr}AgBr.

    Molar mass of AgBr\mathrm{AgBr}AgBr: 108+80=188108 + 80 = 188108+80=188

    So, 188 188\,188g of AgBr\mathrm{AgBr}AgBr contains 80 80\,80g of Br.

  2. Find bromine present in 1.88 g of AgBr

    Mass of Br=80188×1.88\text{Mass of Br} = \frac{80}{188} \times 1.88Mass of Br=18880​×1.88

    =0.8 g= 0.8\,\text{g}=0.8g

  3. Find percentage of bromine in the organic compound

    Mass of organic compound taken =1.6 = 1.6\,=1.6g

    %Br=0.81.6×100\%\text{Br} = \frac{0.8}{1.6} \times 100%Br=1.60.8​×100

    =50= 50=50

  4. Final answer

    The mass percentage of bromine in the compound is: 50\boxed{50}50​

  5. Comparison with stored answer

    Stored correct answer = 505050

    My derived answer also is 505050, so they agree.
