Solution

The correct option is B 0.2378
KBr+NaBrAg+AgBr

Let x g be the weight of KBr in the sample.
Then (0.560x) g be the weight of NaBr.
Because no. of moles of Br atoms are conserved in the reaction, applying POAC on Br atom,
Moles of Br in KBr + moles of Br in NaBr = moles of Br in AgBr
x119+0.560x103=0.97188

x=0.1332 g
Fraction of KBr in mixture =0.13320.560=0.2378
