0.53 g of an organic compound $(\mathrm{x})$ when heated with excess of nitric acid (concentrated) and then with silver nitrate gave 0.75 g of silver bromide precipitate. 1.0 g of $(\mathrm{x})$ gave 1.32 g of $\mathrm{CO}_2$ gas on combustion. The percentage of hydrogen in the compound $(x)$ is $\_\_\_\_$ \%. [Nearest Integer]
[Given: Molar mass in $\mathrm{g} \mathrm{mol}^{-1} \mathrm{H}: 1, \mathrm{C}: 12, \mathrm{Br}: 80, \mathrm{Ag}: 108, \mathrm{O}: 16$; Compound (x) : $\left.\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{x}} \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{y}} \mathrm{Br}_{\mathrm{z}}\right]$
Explanation:
From the given data, the compound is of type $C_xH_yBr_z$.
1) Percentage of bromine from AgBr precipitate
Molar mass of $\mathrm{AgBr} = 108 + 80 = 188\ \mathrm{g\,mol^{-1}}$
Moles of $\mathrm{AgBr}$ formed:
$n(\mathrm{AgBr})=\frac{0.75}{188}=0.003989\ \mathrm{mol}$
Each mole of $\mathrm{AgBr}$ contains 1 mole of Br, so
$n(\mathrm{Br})=0.003989\ \mathrm{mol}$
Mass of Br in $0.53\ \mathrm{g}$ of compound:
$m(\mathrm{Br})=0.003989\times 80=0.3191\ \mathrm{g}$
So, mass fraction of Br:
$\text{Br fraction}=\frac{0.3191}{0.53}=0.602$
Hence, in $1.0\ \mathrm{g}$ of compound:
$m(\mathrm{Br})=0.602\ \mathrm{g}$
2) Mass of carbon from $\mathrm{CO_2}$ on combustion
Given $1.0\ \mathrm{g}$ compound gives $1.32\ \mathrm{g\ CO_2}$.
Moles of $\mathrm{CO_2}$:
$n(\mathrm{CO_2})=\frac{1.32}{44}=0.03\ \mathrm{mol}$
Moles of carbon $= 0.03\ \mathrm{mol}$, so mass of carbon:
$m(\mathrm{C})=0.03\times 12=0.36\ \mathrm{g}$
3) Mass and percentage of hydrogen
In $1.0\ \mathrm{g}$ compound:
$m(\mathrm{H})=1.0-(0.602+0.36)=0.038\ \mathrm{g}$
Therefore, percentage of hydrogen:
$\%\,\mathrm{H}=\frac{0.038}{1.0}\times 100=3.8\%$
Nearest integer $= \boxed{4\%}$.

In Carius method for estimation of halogens, 180 mg of an organic compound produced 143.5 mg of AgCl . The percentage composition of chlorine in the compound is _________ %. (Given : molar mass in $\mathrm{g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$ of $\mathrm{Ag}: 108, \mathrm{Cl}: 35.5$ )
Explanation:
To find the percentage composition of chlorine in an organic compound using the Carius method, we follow these steps:
Calculate Millimoles of AgCl:
Since 143.5 mg of AgCl is produced, and the molar mass of AgCl is 143.5 g/mol, the millimoles of AgCl is:
$ \text{Millimoles of AgCl} = \frac{143.5 \, \text{mg}}{143.5 \, \text{mg/mmol}} = 1 \, \text{mmol} $
Determine Millimoles of Cl:
In AgCl, there is a 1:1 ratio of Ag to Cl, so the millimoles of Cl are equal to that of AgCl:
$ \text{Millimoles of Cl} = 1 \, \text{mmol} $
Calculate Mass of Cl:
Using the molar mass of Cl (35.5 g/mol), the mass of Cl is:
$ \text{Mass of Cl} = 35.5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{g} = 35.5 \, \text{mg} $
Compute Percentage by Mass of Cl:
The total mass of the organic compound is 180 mg, so the percentage of chlorine is:
$ \% \text{ Cl by mass} = \left( \frac{35.5 \, \text{mg}}{180 \, \text{mg}} \right) \times 100 = 19.72\% $
Round to the Nearest Integer:
Rounding 19.72% to the nearest integer gives 20%.
Thus, the percentage composition of chlorine in the compound is approximately 20%.
The correct stability order of the following resonance structures of $\mathrm{CH}_3-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{CHO}$ is
