Question 1) Is analytical Chemistry useful in your future work? How? ____/1

Question 2) To determine the degree of purity of sodium chloride sample, 0.8g of it was added to a
solution of silver nitrate in excess. It formed a silver chloride precipitate that after filtrate and dried
was found to be 1.4g.
2a) Further classify the above analyses? ____/0.5
2c) What errors can occur and what could be the sources ? ____/0.5

Question 3) A sample of zirconium is made by reacting 58.30g of zirconium tetrachloride, ZrCl4, with
excess magnesium. The mass of zirconium produced is 20.52g. Identify the limiting and excess
reagent. Calculate the percentage yield of zirconium. Remember to balance the equation and write
the states. ____/1
