0.3780 g 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:

Given : Mass of organic compound = 0.3780 g

Mass of silver chloride = 0.5740 g

1 mol of AgCl = 143.5 g

143.5 g of AgCl contains 35.5 g of Cl

∴ 0.5740 g of AgCl contains

\frac{3535 \times 0.574}{143.5}

= 0.142 g

0.142 g of Cl is present in 0.3780 g of the compound

% of Cl in compound =

\frac{0.142}{0.378}

× 100 = 37.56 %
