1.What weight of pyrite ore (impure FeS 2) must be taken for analysis so that the weight of BaSO 4
precipitate obtained will be equal to one-half of the percent S in the sample?

2. How many grams of sample containing Cl should be taken for analysis so that the %Cl in the sample
can be obtained by multiplying the weight of AgCl by 10?

3., Treatment of 0.2500-g sample of impure potassium chloride with an excess of AgNO 3 resulted in the
formation of 0.2912g of AgCl. Calculate the percentage of KCl in the sample.
