0.3780g of an organic chloro compound gave 0.5740g of silver chloride in Carius estimation. Calculate the percentage of chlorine present in the compound (Ag= 108, Cl= 35.5)

0.3780g of an organic chloro compound gave 0.5740g of silver chloride

1.	0.3780g of an organic chloro compound gave 0.5740g of silver chloride in Carius estimation. Calculate the percentage of chlorine present in the compound (Ag= 108, Cl= 35.5)
Answer» SOLUTION :`underset(35.5g)(Cl) overset(+)rarr underset(143.5g)(AgCl)` molecular mass of AgCl= 108 + 35.5 = 143.5g 143.5g AgCl contain 35.5g CHLORINE. `therefore` 0.5740g AgCl contain, Chlorine `=(35.5 xx 0.5740)/(143.5)gm` % `Cl = (35.5)/(143.5) xx (0.5740)/(0.3780) xx 100` =37.5661= 37.57
