Correct answer: 0

The estimation of halogens in organic compounds is usually done by carius method. Percentage of Bromine = Atomic &#160; mass &#160; of &#160; Br Molecular &#160; mass &#160; of &#160; AgBr &#215; Mass &#160; of &#160; AgBr &#215; 100 Mass &#160; of &#160; the &#160; organic &#160; compound = 80 &#215; 0 . 4 &#215; 100 188 &#215; 0 . 5 = 34 %

In the estimation of bromine, 0 . 5   g of an organic compound gave 0 . 40   g of silver bromide. The percentage of bromine in the given compound is % (nearest integer) (Relative atomic masses of Ag and Br are 108 u and 80 u , respectively).
