In Carius method for estimation of halogens, 0 . 2 g of an organic compound gave 0 . 188 g of AgBr . The percentage of bromine in the compound is __________. (Nearest integer) [Atomic mass: Ag = 108 , Br = 80 ]

Step-by-step solution

=  Atomic mass of  X  Molecular mass of  AgX ×  wt. of  AgX  wt. of organic helides  = 80 188 × 0 . 188 0 . 2 × 100 = 40 %
