Q.

1.34g of an organic compound (having some methoxy groups) with the molecular weight  134 gives 7.05 g of AgI precipitate in the Zeisel’s method of estimation of methoxy  groups. The weight percentage of methoxy group(s) in the organic compound is
(G.A.W. of Ag is 108g, I is 127g)

Detailed Solution

Zeisel method: Organic compound is heated with excess HI, forming alcohol  and  CH3I.ROCH3+HIROH+CH3I. The iodomethane is distilled off and led into an  alcoholic solution of  AgNO3, where it precipitates AgI
No. of moles of organic compound =1.34134=0.01mole
No. of moles of AgI precipitated =7.05235=0.03
 Number of methoxy groups per org.molecule = number of moles of AgI precipitated per  one mole of organic compound =3
W% of methoxy in the organic compound =93134×100=69.4 .
