Question

A 0.141 g sample of phosphorus containing compound was digested in a mixture of HNO3 and H2SO4, which resulted in formation of CO2,H2O and H3PO4. Addition of ammonium molybdate yielded a solid having the composition (NH4)3PO4.12MoO3. The precipitate was filtered, washed and dissolved in 50.0 mL of 0.20 M NaOH.
(NH4)3PO4.12MoO3(s)+26OHHPO24+12MoO24+14H2O

+3NH3(g)
After boiling the solution to remove the NH3, the excess of NaOH was titrated with 14.1 mL of 0.174 M HCl. Calculate the percentage of phosphorus in the sample.

Solution

The correct option is D 6.4%
POxidized−−−−H3PO4
P0P5++5e
Thus, 1 eq. of P is converted to 1 eq. of H3PO4.
or, 1 millimole of P is converted to 1 mole of H3PO4.
Millimoles of NaOH added =50×0.2=10
Millimoles of NaOH used by HCl=14.1×0.174=2.453 (both are monovalent)
Millimoles of NaOH used for sample contents after digestion and precipitation =102.453=7.547
26 mmol of NaOH is used for 1 mmol P.
Millimoles of P present =7.54726=0.290
wP31×1000=0.290
wP=9.00×103
%P=9.00×1030.141×100=6.38%
