In the Carius method, 0.2 g of an organic compound gave 0.235 g of AgCl. What is the percentage of chlorine?

Molar mass of AgCl = 143.5 g/mol, Cl = 35.5 g/mol. Mass of Cl = (35.5/143.5) × 0.235 = 0.058 g. Percentage = (0.058/0.2) × 100 = 29%.

In the Carius method, 0.18 g of a compound gave 0.287 g of AgCl. What is the percentage of chlorine?

Molar mass of AgCl = 143.5 g/mol, Cl = 35.5 g/mol. Mass of Cl = (35.5/143.5) × 0.287 = 0.071 g. Percentage = (0.071/0.18) × 100 ≈ 39.44% ≈ 40%.

In the Carius method, 0.15 g of a compound gave 0.287 g of AgCl. If the same sample in Kjeldahl’s method neutralized 10

Mass of Cl = (35.5/143.5) × 0.287 = 0.071 g. Percentage = (0.071/0.15) × 100 = 47.33% ≈ 47%. Kjeldahl’s data is for nitrogen, irrelevant here.

In the Carius method, a compound weighing 0.24 g produces 0.47 g of AgCl and 0.233 g of BaSO₄. What is the ratio of chlo

Mass of Cl = (35.5/143.5) × 0.47 ≈ 0.116 g. Mass of S = (32/233) × 0.233 ≈ 0.032 g. Ratio = 0.116/0.032 ≈ 3.625:1, which rounds to 4:1 for practical purposes.

What is the mass of AgCl produced when 34 g of AgNO₃ reacts with excess NaCl? (Molar masses: AgNO₃ = 170 g/mol, AgCl = 1

Reaction: AgNO₃ + NaCl → AgCl + NaNO₃. Moles of AgNO₃ = 34/170 = 0.2 mol. 1 mol AgNO₃ produces 1 mol AgCl; mass = 0.2 × 143.5 = 28.7 g.
