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

To solve the problem of calculating the percentage of chloride present in the organic chloro compound, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Determine the amount of chloride in silver chloride (AgCl)
We know that 0.5740 grams of silver chloride (AgCl) was produced. The molecular weight of AgCl is 143.5 g/mol, and the atomic weight of chlorine (Cl) is 35.5 g/mol.

To find the amount of chloride in the silver chloride, we can set up a proportion based on the weights:
\[
\text{Amount of Cl in AgCl} = \left( \frac{\text{Weight of Cl}}{\text{Weight of AgCl}} \right) \times \text{Weight of AgCl}
