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

Solution

$Pecentage space of space Cl equals fraction numerator Atomic space mass space of space Cl space straight x space mass space of space AgCl space form space space straight x space 100 over denominator Molecular space mass space of space AgCl space space straight x space straight m end fraction$
Molecular mass of AgCl = 108 + 35.5 = 143.5 g mol^-1.
Now 143.5 g AgCl contains 35.5 g chlorine
0.5740 g AgCl would contain
$equals fraction numerator 35.5 over denominator 143.5 end fraction cross times 0.5740 space straight g space chlorine$
Mass of organic compound is =0.3780
$therefore space space Percentage space of space chlorine space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space equals space fraction numerator 35.5 over denominator 143.5 end fraction cross times fraction numerator 0.5740 over denominator 0.3780 end fraction cross times 100 space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space equals space 37.57 percent sign$
