Question

Chloride samples are prepared for analysis by using NaCl, KCl and NH4Cl, separately or as a mixture. The minimum volume of 5% by mass of AgNO3 solution (specific gravity = 1.04 g/ml) that must be added to a sample of 0.3 g in order to ensure complete precipitation of chloride in every possible case, is (only integer part) :

Solution

From the given data: NAgNO3=5170×[100(1.04×1000)]=0.3059
(wAgNO3=5g;W=100g;d=1.04gmL1)
The chloride samples of 0.3 g are prepared using NaCl, KCl, NH4Cl in any combination ratio or as individual component.The minimum volume of AgNO3 to ensure complete precipitation in each possible case can be derived by finding maximum meq. of chloride in sample, i.e., NH4Cl only as independent constituent because NH4Cl has minimum molar mass in all the three.
Meq. of AgNO3= Meq. of NH4Cl
0.3059×V=(0.353.5)×1000
V=18.33 mL.
So, the answer is 18.
