A 0.512 g sample of a commercial phosphate detergent was ignited at a red heat to destroy the organic matter. The residue was taken up in hot HCl, which converted the P to H3PO4. The phosphate was precipitated as MgNH4PO4.6H2O by addition of Mg2+ followed by aqueous NH3. After being filtered and washed the precipitate was converted to Mg2P2O7 by ignition at 1000 0C and the residue weighed 0.1151g. (a) What is the Gravimetric Factor to convert Mg2P2O7 to P? (b) Calculate the percent P in the sample
