    This experiment involves quantitatively analyzing an unknown chloride salt sample and a soluble fertilizer to identify the amount of chloride and phosphorus present. Gravimetric analysis techniques are used to precipitate the chloride and phosphorus as silver chloride and magnesium ammonium phosphate, respectively. Calculations are shown to determine the percentage of chloride in the salt samples and percentage of phosphorus and phosphorus pentoxide in the fertilizer.

    LAB CALCULATIONS
    ANS 1.
    Sample number 1:
    Mass of Cl (g) in unknown sample = (X g AgCl) weight of final precipitate x atomic mass
    of Cl / atomic mass of AgCl
    = 0.1928 g x 35.45 g / 143.32 g
    = 0.0477 g
    Percentage (m/m) of Cl in unknown original sample = mass of Cl (g) / mass of unknown
    sample (in table 1) x 100%
    = 0.0477 g / 0.2204 g x 100 %
    = 21.64 %
    Sample number 2:
    Mass of Cl (g) in unknown sample = (X g AgCl) weight of final precipitate x atomic mass
    of Cl / atomic mass of AgCl

    = 0.1642 g x 35.45 g / 143.32 g


    = 0.0406 g
    Percentage (m/m) of Cl in unknown original sample = mass of Cl (g) / mass of unknown
    sample (in table 1) x 100%

    = 0.0406 g / 0.2192 g x 100 %


    = 18.52 %
    Sample number 3:
    Mass of Cl (g) in unknown sample = (X g AgCl) weight of final precipitate x atomic mass
    of Cl / atomic mass of AgCl

    = 0.2788 g x 35.45 g / 143.32 g


    = 0.0690 g
    Percentage (m/m) of Cl in unknown original sample = mass of Cl (g) / mass of unknown
    sample (in table 1) x 100%

    = 0.0690 g / 0.2425 g x 100 %


    = 28.45 %
    ANS 2.
    Sample number 1:
    For mass of phosphorus in grams -
    = 1.3727 MgNH4PO4.6H2O x 30.97 g/mol P / 245.40 g/mol MgNH4PO4.6H2O
    = 0.1732 g of P
    Percentage (m/m) of P = 0.1732 g / 1.03 g x 100% = 16.82 %
    For mass of P2O5 in grams -
    = 1.3727 MgNH4PO4.6H2O x 141.92 g/mol P2O5 / 245.40 g/mol MgNH4PO4.6H2O x 1
    mol P2O5 /2 mole P
    = 0.7939 g P2O5
    Percentage (m/m) of P2O5 = 0.7939 g / 1.3727 g * 100%
    = 57.83 % P2O5

    Sample number 2:
    For mass of phosphorus in grams -
    = 1.3272 MgNH4PO4.6H2O x 30.97 g/mol P / 245.40 g/mol MgNH4PO4.6H2O
    = 0.1675 g of P
    Percentage (m/m) of P = 0.1675 g / 1.05 g x 100% = 15.95 %

    For mass of P2O5 in grams -


    = 1.3272 MgNH4PO4.6H2O x 141.92 g/mol P2O5 / 245.40 g/mol MgNH4PO4.6H2O x 1
    mol P2O5 /2 mole P
    = 0.3838 g P2O5
    Percentage (m/m) of P2O5 = 0.3838 g / 1.3272 g * 100%
    = 28.92 % P2O5

    ANS 3 –
    In this experiment, expected value of phosphorus present in soluble fertilizer = 20% LC.
    So,
    Percent difference for sample number 1 is expected value – experimental value/
    expected value + experimental value/2 x 100%
    = 20% - 16.82 % /20% + 16.82 /2 X100 % = 17.27 %
    Percent difference for sample number 2 is expected value – experimental value/
    expected value + experimental value/2 x 100%
    = 20% - 15.95 % /20% + 15.95 /2 X100 % = 22.53 %

    LAB QUESTIONS

    ANS 1 . Initial Weight of BaSO4 sample = 0.369 g


    Weight of BaSO4 formed as precipitate = 0.153 g
    So,
    Weight of Barium (g) = 0.153 g x 137.33 g/mol Ba / 233.39 g/mol BaSO4
    = 0.0900 g Ba

    Percentage of Barium = 0.0900 g/0.369 g x 100%


    = 24.39% Ba

    ANS 2 .
    Percentage of sodium in NaCl = Atomic mass of Na / Atomic mass of NaCl x 100 %
    = 22.99 g/mol Na/ 58.44 g/mol NaCl x 100%
    = 39.339 % Na

    ANS 3.
    mg of sodium in 2.00 g of NaCl
    So,
    2.00 g NaCl X 1 mol NaCl / 58.44g NaCl X 1 mol Na /1 mol NaCl x 22.99 g Na/ 1mol Na

    = 0.7868 g Na

    Then, 0.7868 g x 1000 mg = 786.8 mg Na


    1 g
    ANS 4. Three sources of error are:
     The percentage yield of phosphorus sample 1 is less than the expected results
    which is may be due the reason that the residue was not rinsed properly with 75%
    propanol.
     However, the percentage yield of another sample of phosphorous is more because
    the sample was not fully dry. There was moisture present in the sample that
    accounts for the high % yield.
     Another sort of error can be the improper weighing techniques.
