Which method is used to find halogen in organic compound?

Which method is used to find halogen in organic compound?

Options

  1. ADuma's method
  2. BLeibig's method
  3. CKjeldahl method
  4. DCarius method

Correct answer

D. Carius method

Step-by-step solution

Carius method is used to find halogen in an organic compound. Here, the weighed amount of organic compound is heated in a sealed tube with fuming HNO3\mathrm{HNO}_3 in the presence of AgNO3\mathrm{AgNO}_3. As a result, halogen present in organic compound is converted into Agx which is weighed. The percentage of halogens can be calculated with the help of direct formula as % of chlorine =35.5143.5× weight of AgCl×100 weight of compound % of bromine =80188× weight of AgBr×100 weight of compound % of iodine =127235× weight of AgI×100 weight of compound \begin{aligned} \% \text{ of chlorine } & =\frac{35.5}{143.5} \times \frac{\text{ weight of } \mathrm{AgCl} \times 100}{\text{ weight of compound }} \\ \% \text{ of bromine } & =\frac{80}{188} \times \frac{\text{ weight of } \mathrm{AgBr} \times 100}{\text{ weight of compound }} \\ \% \text{ of iodine } & =\frac{127}{235} \times \frac{\text{ weight of } \mathrm{AgI} \times 100}{\text{ weight of compound }} \end{aligned}
