0.3780 g of an organic chloro compound gave 0.5740 g silver chloride in Carius estimation. Calculate the percentage of chlorine present in the compound.

Explanation

To calculate the percentage of chlorine in the organic chloro compound, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Find the molar mass of silver chloride (AgCl)
- The molar mass of silver (Ag) = 108 g/mol
- The molar mass of chlorine (Cl) = 35.5 g/mol
- Therefore, the molar mass of AgCl = 108 g/mol + 35.5 g/mol = 143.5 g/mol

### Step 2: Determine the mass of chlorine in the silver chloride produced
