In Carius method of estimation of halogen, 0.25 g of an organic compound gave 0.15 g of silver bromide (AgBr). The percentage of Bromine in the organic compound is ____ times 10^-1 % (Nearest integer). (Given : Molar mass of Ag is 108 and Br is 80 g mol ^-1)

Numerical Answer Type:
Enter a numerical value Answer: 255 to 255 +4 marks

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula \% text Bromine = fractextMolar Mass of BrtextMolar Mass of AgBr cdot fractextMass of AgBr formedtextMass of Organic Sample cdot 100 ### Core Logic 1. Calculate the molar mass of silver bromide (mathrmAgBr): textMolar Mass of AgBr = 108 + 80 = 188text g/mol 2. Substitute the given values into the Carius quantitative formula: * textMass of AgBr = 0.15text g * textMass of sample = 0.25text g \% mathrmBr = frac80188 cdot frac0.150.25 cdot 100 \% mathrmBr = frac80188 cdot 0.6 cdot 100 = frac48188 cdot 100 = 25.5319\% 3. Convert the percentage to match the requested output units (times 10^-1\%): 25.5319\% = 255.319 cdot 10^-1\% approx 255 cdot 10^-1\% Rounding to the nearest integer gives 255. ### Pattern Recognition Pay close attention to the final multiplier units requested in the blank (times 10^-1\%). Always calculate the raw percentage first, then adjust the decimal place to match the required format. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques

'Adsorption' principle is used for which of the following purification method?
  • A. textExtraction
  • B. textChromatography
  • C. textDistillation
  • D. textSublimation

Solution

### Core Logic The fundamental principle used in chromatography (such as column chromatography or thin-layer chromatography) is adsorption. Different components of a mixture are adsorbed to different extents on an adsorbent stationary phase. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
  • A. textA-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
  • B. textA-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
  • C. textA-I, B-II, C-IV, D-III
  • D. textA-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV

Solution

### Core Logic (A) Simple distillation is used to separate a mixture of miscible liquids with a sufficiently large difference in their boiling points, such as chloroform and aniline. (A rightarrow IV) (B) Fractional distillation is used to separate crude oil fractions. (B rightarrow III) (C) Steam distillation is used to separate steam-volatile substances that are immiscible with water, like an aniline-water mixture. (C rightarrow II) (D) Distillation under reduced pressure is used for liquids that decompose at or below their normal boiling points, like separating glycerol from spent lye. (D rightarrow I) ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Chemistry: Organic Chemistry - Some Basic Principles and Techniques
