In Carius method of estimation of halogens, 250 mg of an organic compound gave 141 mg of AgBr. The percentage of bromine in the compound is: (at mass Ag=108 , Br =80)

Answer»

`24`
`36`
`48`
`60`

Solution :`% X = ("ATOMIC MASS of Br")/("Molecular mass of AGBR") xx ("Wt. of AgBr")/("Wt. of organic BROMIDE")`
Thus`% Br = (80)/(188) xx (141)/(250) xx 100 = 24`.

In carbonyl compounds, the carbonyl group is polar as well as in sp^(2) hybridisation state. As a result, these compounds are highly reactive in nature and takepart in the addition reactions. The mechanism of these reactions is nucleophilic in nature and is catalyseed in the weakly acidic medium. The extent of nycleophilic addition is influenced by two factors. These are steric effect of the groups attached to the carbonyl carbon atom. Both tend to decrease the reactivity of these compounds in the nuclephilic addition reactions. Important properties of carbon compounds are : nucleophilic addition and acidity of alpha-hydrogen atoms. , Which factor is most useful in explaning these two ?

In both alkyl halides and aryl halides, the halogen (X) atom is attached directly to the carbon atom. They are expected to exhibit similar reactivity. However, aryl halides are comparatively very little reactive, particularly towards nucleophilic substitution reaction. for example, hydrolysis of ethyl chloride occurs by simply boiling with aqueous KOH. ON the other hand, the alkaline hydrolysis of chlorobenzene requires a very high temperature (623K) as well as a very high pressure. Q.
