JEE MainChemistryPractical Organic ChemistryNumerical+4 / −1
In Carius method of estimation of halogen, 0.25 g of an organic compound gave 0.15 g of silver bromide ( AgBr ). The percentage of Bromine in the organic compound is ‾×10−1%\underline{\hspace{2cm}}\times 10^{-1} \%​×10−1%(Nearest integer). (Given : Molar mass of Ag is 108 and Br is 80 g mol−180 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}80 g mol−1 )

Correct answer: 255

  1. Principle of Carius method
    In Carius method, halogen present in the organic compound is converted into silver halide.
    Here, bromine is precipitated as AgBr\mathrm{AgBr}AgBr.

  2. Molar mass of AgBr\mathrm{AgBr}AgBr M(AgBr)=M(Ag)+M(Br)=108+80=188M(\mathrm{AgBr}) = M(\mathrm{Ag}) + M(\mathrm{Br}) = 108 + 80 = 188M(AgBr)=M(Ag)+M(Br)=108+80=188

  3. Mass of bromine present in 0.15 g0.15\,\text{g}0.15g of AgBr\mathrm{AgBr}AgBr In 188 g188\,\text{g}188g of AgBr\mathrm{AgBr}AgBr, mass of bromine =80 g= 80\,\text{g}=80g.

    Therefore, in 0.15 g0.15\,\text{g}0.15g of AgBr\mathrm{AgBr}AgBr, mass of Br=0.15×80188\text{mass of Br} = 0.15 \times \frac{80}{188}mass of Br=0.15×18880​ =12188=0.06383 g= \frac{12}{188} = 0.06383\,\text{g}=18812​=0.06383g

  4. Percentage of bromine in the organic compound Mass of organic compound =0.25 g= 0.25\,\text{g}=0.25g.

    % Br=0.063830.25×100\%\,\mathrm{Br} = \frac{0.06383}{0.25} \times 100%Br=0.250.06383​×100 =25.53%= 25.53\%=25.53%

  5. Match with the required form The question asks for: ‾×10−1%\underline{\hspace{2cm}} \times 10^{-1}\%​×10−1%

    Since 25.53%=255.3×10−1%25.53\% = 255.3 \times 10^{-1}\%25.53%=255.3×10−1%

    Nearest integer =255= 255=255.

  6. Final answer 255\boxed{255}255​
