Step-by-step solution

The given reactant is p-nitrotoluene.

Step (i): Reduction with Sn/HCl followed by OH−OH^- converts the −NO2-NO_2 group to an −NH2-NH_2 group, yielding p-toluidine.

Step (ii): Reaction with acetic anhydride, (CH3CO)2O(CH_3CO)_2O, protects the amino group by forming N-(4-methylphenyl)acetamide.

Step (iii): Bromination with Br2/AlBr3Br_2/AlBr_3 directs the incoming bromine to the ortho position relative to the strongly activating −NHCOCH3-NHCOCH_3 group (the para position is blocked by the methyl group). This yields 2-bromo-4-methylacetanilide.

Step (iv): Acid hydrolysis with H3O+H_3O^+ removes the acetyl group, yielding 2-bromo-4-methylaniline as the major product (P).

The molecular formula of product P (2-bromo-4-methylaniline) is C7H8NBrC_7H_8NBr.
Molar mass of P = (7×12)+(8×1)+14+80=186 g mol−1(7 \times 12) + (8 \times 1) + 14 + 80 = 186 \text{ g mol}^{-1}.

In Carius analysis, the bromine in the organic compound is quantitatively converted to silver bromide (AgBr).
Molar mass of AgBr = 108+80=188 g mol−1108 + 80 = 188 \text{ g mol}^{-1}.

Since one molecule of P contains one bromine atom, 1 mole of P produces 1 mole of AgBr.
Moles of P in 1.0 g=1.0186 mol1.0 \text{ g} = \dfrac{1.0}{186} \text{ mol}.
Moles of AgBr produced = 1.0186 mol\dfrac{1.0}{186} \text{ mol}.
Mass of AgBr produced = 1.0186×188 g≈1.01 g\dfrac{1.0}{186} \times 188 \text{ g} \approx 1.01 \text{ g}.

Rounding to the nearest integer, the mass of the AgBr precipitate is 1 g.
