JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2025 - 24th January Evening Shift - No. 23)

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 ________ $\times 10^{-1} \%$ (Nearest integer).

(Given : Molar mass of Ag is 108 and Br is $80 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ )

Answer
255

Explanation

$$\begin{aligned} & \% \text { Bromine }= \frac{\text { Molar Mass of Bro mine }}{\text { Molar Mass of Silver bromide }} \\ & \times \frac{\text { Weight of } \mathrm{AgBr}}{\text { Weight of sample }} \times 100 \\ &=\frac{80}{188} \times \frac{0.165}{0.25} \times 100 \\ &= \frac{4800}{188}=25.53=255 \times 10^{-1} \end{aligned}$$
