From the given data: NAgNO3=5170×[100(1.04×1000)]=0.3059
(∵wAgNO3=5g;W=100g;d=1.04gmL−1)
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.
