0 . 102   g of an organic compound X was oxidized with fuming nitric acid. The resulting solution, after reaction with an excess of aqueous BaCl 2 , produced 0 . 233   g of BaSO 4 as a precipitate. Compound X is likely to be : [Gi

Question

0 . 102 &#160; g of an organic compound X was oxidized with fuming nitric acid. The resulting solution, after reaction with an excess of aqueous BaCl 2 , produced 0 . 233 &#160; g of BaSO 4 as a precipitate. Compound X is likely to be : [Given: Atomic wt. of Ba = 137 ]

Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: 3

0 . 233 gm BaSO 4 has 1 millimole BaSO 4 and hence has lmillimole S ∴ organic compound X also has 1 millimole S % of S in 0 . 102 gm of organic compound X = 0 . 032 0 . 102 × 100 = 31 . 37 % 102 gm of this organic compound has 32 gm S This has same % of S

0 . 102   g of an organic compound X was oxidized with fuming nitric acid. The resulting solution, after reaction with an excess of aqueous BaCl 2 , produced 0 . 233   g of BaSO 4 as a precipitate. Compound X is likely to be : [Given: Atomic wt. of Ba = 137 ]
