In the Carius method of halogen estimation, if 0.300 g of an organic compound yields 0.400 g of AgBr, what is the percentage of bromine in the compound?
A
53.33%

26.67%
C
46.67%
D
33.33%
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Based on the Carius method, AgBr contains 80 g of bromine per 188 g of AgBr. Therefore, 0.400 g of AgBr contains (80/188) * 0.400 g of bromine. The percentage of bromine in the compound is [(80/188) * 0.400 / 0.300] * 100 = 53.33%.
