If 0.189 ~g of a chlorine containing organic compound gave 0.287 ~g...

0.189 \mathrm{~g}

of a chlorine containing organic compound gave

0.287 \mathrm{~g}

of silver chloride, then the percentage of chlorine in the organic compound is

Options

A35.47
B35.57
C37.57
D45.37

Correct answer

C. 37.57

Step-by-step solution

Organic compound → Comp.

+\mathrm{AgCl}0.189 \mathrm{ g} \quad 0.287 \mathrm{ g}

Percentage of chlorine in

\mathrm{AgCl}=\frac{35.5}{143.35} \times 100=24.76 \%

Weight of chlorine in

0.287 \mathrm{ g}

\begin{aligned}\mathrm{g} \mathrm{AgCl}& =\frac{24.76}{100} \times0.287 \\ & =.07106 \mathrm{ g} \end{aligned}

Percentage of chlorine in 0.189

\begin{aligned}\mathrm{g}& =\frac{.07106}{0.189} \times100 \\ & =37.598 \% \end{aligned}$$
