Solution

Solution: According to Carious method,

% of Bromine (Br) =(weight of AgBr × atomic weight of Br ×100) / (molecular weight of AgBr ×weight of organic bromide)

=(1.88×80×100) / (188×1.6)

= 15040/300.8

= 50%

So, in the estimation of bromine by the Carius method, 1.6 g of an organic compound gave 1.88 g of AgBr. The mass percentage of bromine in the compound is 50%.
