0.3080 gm of and organic chloro compound gave 0.5740 gm of siver chloride in carius estimation. Calculate the percentage of chloride presents in the compound

Explanation

Given that,
Mass of organic compound is 0.3780 g.
Mass of AgCl formed = 0.5740 g
1 mol of AgCl contains 1 mol of Cl.
Thus, mass of chlorine in 0.5740 g of AgCl
`(35.5xx05740)/143.32`
=0.1421g
`therefore` Percentage of chlorine=`0.1421/0.3780xx100=37.59%`
Hence, the percentage of chlorine present in the given organic chloro compound is 37.59%
